I can not believe how much snow we are getting this year!  Today when I picked the kids up from school it was still coming down and as I type this at almost 9pm it is still coming down.  My son is praying for a snow day (not sure why because we live close enough that we walk and he still goes) but I am hopeful it will stop soon and the roads will be cleaned up by morning.

Did I mention that I am going to Florida in about 2 weeks - I will see about bringing some nice weather back with me

Happy Snow Day to all who get one tomorrow!

We live in “almost” southern Ontario. Typically, our winters are mild, we get snow but not that much… And then there was this year. The snow shovel we bought a few years back (electric for big snowfalls) had been used a handful of times … until this year. The cozy deck cover we have enjoyed for three years, the one that is too high for us to get down easily, the one that survived the little snow we have had each winter had stood strong… until this year.

I grew up near Ottawa where we had winter. I think we were getting a little too comfortable with this new form of winter - not just us but people across Canada. For us, we have learned a good lesson. We will get out the ladder this fall when we put our summer stuff away - including what will have to be a new deck cover!
