Winter for one week

Update on the weather: it snowed.


And the temperature dropped to -13 (with windchill, ha!) and oh, how all the rest of Canada laughed as we islanders tried to struggle through the harsh winter conditions until finally.... that's it. We give up. Call a snow day.

School is cancelled. No busses. Work might be cancelled depending on who you are and where you work. One can't possibly go out in this!!! 

You may be sensing some sarcasm on my part. To be fair to the west coast, snow is a bit of a different thing here. The relatively warm temperatures mean a lot of snow turns to ice pretty fast. There is only one snow plow or something for each municipality. The roads are small and and hilly. I no longer own a snow shovel, so how was I to clear a path to get anywhere?


But seriously... it was not that bad.


And I thought it was kind of pretty.
