SPRING???

Well, it's been awhile since I blogged but it has been busy. The latest REAL news is the snow. Went to bed last night and the snow was all gone and it had been warm (although it cooled down to 0 by 9 pm). Woke up at 6:00 am and it was blowing and snowing and obviously had been for awhile! It is beautiful, if I was still interested in cross country skiing!!

It was like a real blizzard at 6 am though with the wind blowing the snow everywhere. It is heavy and wet - although sometimes the snowflakes looked huge and light but you can tell by the trees they are heavy and wet. Our cedars are starting to b-e-n-d !

Through our bedroom (screened) window at 6 am


8 am out the kitchen window
It is starting to let up a bit which is good news. I needed to go out to pay my Visa but might have to wait till after lunch. It is 0 C now and going for a high of 4. We were left with a nice blanket (plush blanket) of white but it is supposed to start melting by tomorrow and by Monday it will be  clear again! Rain might have been easier to deal with as you don't have to shovel!

Happy and safe driving to those of you on the road! I hear the snow has been so heavy it has taken out the power lines so a lot of the intersection lights are out - practise your 4-way STOP techniqhes! Be safe!

Nice photos of the snow but I still don't appreciate it. This weather is certainly challenging my pain threshold. However perhaps the moisture is making the farmers happy? I had to laugh when you mentioned your need to pay your Visa. Weren't you going to pay it another day when we got a blast of bad weather? Maybe you should look into paying on line. I've been doing that for a few years now and it is much easier than trying to make it to the bank.
