Snow White...

Sorry... there ain't no dwarfs in this story.  It's nearly 11 PM local time and the white stuff has been coming down for several hours now.  With enough of a full moonbeam making it through the cloud cover, I reckon about 6 " so far, and no let up in sight.  Considering all the news about airport closures and road restrictions in New England and upper Canada, its not surprising.

Reminds me of living on the Island previously.  Only a day or two after a first 'Green' Christmas, we got a pretty good dump.  The outside thermometer at my back door is reading about minus 2-3C, but there is a wee bit of a breeze blowing.  Me thinks the new Cub Cadet will be working in the morning. 

I did a little bit of math in my head a week or two ago and calculated about 3000 square feet of driveway to clear.  Considering the blower blows about 26"... it's gonna take awhile. 

At least I don't have a J O B to go to and no particular schedule, shouldn't be a problem, except all three of us have colds.  Jury is still out on 'who gave it to whom' it may have to go to the Supreme court to decide, not to worry, it won't be a stressful day. 

Had a pretty decent Christmas, other than being sick.  Pretty low key, the home grown tree worked out well, and we kept the gifts to a minimum.  This whole 'commercialized' season just drives me... aren't we missing the point?

Anyway, going to head off to bed, see what the morning brings.

Ciao for now.
