Oh,so neat! It snowed for the whole day,letting up a bit in the late afternoon. We ventured out to start the dig! Everyone was so excited as an all day snow fall has not happened for many years. It was grand! The nip in the air and the flakes landing on you! You could hear people calling back and forth,the old Canadian complaints like we should be in Florida and when's summer? and it's not even winter yet! Then come the you're not done yet?? When you're done come do mine!!! People walking in the deep snow just for fun and kiddies squealing with delight,what a Sunday. The plows have been by pushing the roads clear and banking it to crazy hieghts. Haven't seen this much snow so early for years!!! They changed the prediction of a mild winter now. It more matches what the little caterpillar was saying !!! The winds have died down and the scene is soft with all the contours of the cars and trucks buried under snow and the ground is a few inches of white were the roads are and several feet of white everywhere else. The banks are here and there,along the roads and were we have tired to dig out our driveways there are piles. I had to dig out the back to still be able to use the back door and let dog out. He played like a loopy child in the snow,he loved it,plowing about and chasing the snow I was throwing. Ran full force into my shovel  and gave me heart failure,darn animal shook it off and was running again,I expected blood it was that hard,good thing he's tough. I moved the several feet of snow and got a pathway to the wood pile. It's getting very small fast,it is so lovely though,the fire does make the evenings cozy and comfy. The night was minus 17 here but the wind chill was really high taking the actual tempurature much lower. So after playing out in the snow and all that exercize my rum and coke by the fire was heaven. Hubby was at a hockey game that my daughters fiance took him to. Perfect! Blizzard, snow and hockey!
