“Fair weather to you, and snow to your heels,” is one way for Newfoundlanders to wish each other good luck. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Newfoundland Good Luck”
Grant, if I’m in Newfoundland and I want to wish you good luck, I might say fair weather to you.
And snow to your heels. Snow to my heels. Oh, get the snow behind you. You know, I was thinking that.
And then I was thinking, I wonder if it means snow just up to your heels. I don’t know, that’s better.
Because snow is inevitable, so if you’re going to have it, might as well not have a lot.
But I kind of like it, snow maybe behind you.
I don’t know.
Right, the wind to your back.
Maybe someone will call and tell us.
Oh, now we have to go there.
Yay!
