Late breaking news...

Taken Saturday before the latest storm hit. This 1/2 mile from our home.

Route 109 widening secondary roads from the last hit.

SPRING may have come early to parts of the west, but down east... it looks like global freezing!

Yes, right on schedule every three days a blizzard blows into our little Island. The latest began Sunday morning and is still going today.  Harsh, cold winds blowing snow into massive drifts once again.

Taken Sunday night from our bedroom window.

The question on everyone's lips; "When will this end?"

Blizzard in full swing.

I sit here on another Monday morning, there will be NO school today.  Few business' open and for us our here on rural PEI, another day or three of snowed in roads.  Last week we went for 6 days without being able to drive anywhere, but fortunately we were able to get out and do a grocery run at least Saturday last.  As it looks out there today, it may be the last for another week.

Driveway at 9 am this morning.

Kids have been out of school this past 2 months nearly as much as they've been in! On the bright side, we have had no significant power failures, last year about this time a broken pole did not get replaced for 4 days, the utility telling me every day that I phoned in that the problem was a switching station in a nearby location.  As I had for several days I repeated to them that there was a broken pole down on our access road and finally after four days of calling, they sent someone out.  GUESS what... the pole was broken and lines down.  They had a new pole up within 2 hours and once again we had power restored.

I took some photos through our window late last night and ventured out this morning into a 'gale force' wind that had blown the snow into 10 foot high drifts.  I came back into the garage my cheeks rosy red and made 'the call'... 

Wind still howling!

County Line road looking north.

"Hi Diane... whenever the roads are plowed please send Donny by with his tractor mounted blower, my place looks like the Grand Canyon out there!"

County Line road looking south.  It's 1.3km to Irishtown road our route to survival.

Looking back down the driveway.  The civic sign is 14' above ground level! The 'official civic sign is 6 feet under!
