LET WINTER BEGIN



We left for Ottawa Friday morning to meet up with our son John. By 10:30 am when we pulled out of the driveway there just a dusting of snow. Although the weather department was forecasting 25cm of snow in our area we thought little of it. It would likely be another case of "how many times do they have to get it wrong before they get it right"?
Well, when we returned Saturday night what a surprise we had. There wasn't 25cm of new snow, there was about 40cm of it! Our car barely made into the driveway.
Sunday was spent cleaning up. The temperatures had already begun to warm up so we tried to get as much done as possible before the snowblower clogged up with wet snow. By noon we had most of it cleared off.
The snowmobiles have already been out and the ski hill has started making snow, so winter has started her engine. Lets hope for a good one!
