White Wonderland

They predicted 15+ cm in snowfall for today. We got that and more. It is still snowing lightly. From dry pavement to a foot of snow in the cul de sac ! It's back to winter in full swing!

Just yesterday it was melting on the grass and now the grass is below a foot of snow! Only in Alberta!

So I had a ladies brunch at 10 am this morning but snow did not hold us back. We still made it out of the cul de sac and onto the main streets which were graded (once) and will be needing it again very soon. After four hours of 'chatting and eating' we made our way home but the roads were in the same if not worse condition. It takes a while for the graders to clear everything.

Now that I am home, this is the kind of day you want to just snuggle up in a comfy chair and read a good book. Oh, by the way, a good book was handed out by the hostess of our brunch who was impersonating 'Oprah' with her 'favourite things' and gave us each a copy. It is called 'the Voice' which is the New Testament presented in a translation by 27 bible scholars, 51 writers, and 36 other contributors. Hundreds of engaging notes throughout with a topical index for easy use. It is intended for us to "hear God speaking to you in this fresh way of reading Scripture". I am looking forward to reading it as our friend is 'over the top' in exclamation about it! I will update you on how I like it over the next few weeks.

Ok, back to the snow...
