The first snowfall of the season has arrived

It began yesterday in the middle of the afternoon. It came with minimal warning, reports of 1-3 cm being the word of the day. It turned into a road clogging, mind boggling drop of chilly white stuff more in the order of a foot. The trip from Halifax, which normally takes 40 minutes took over 6 hours. Yes, 6 hours. Cars, trucks - even the tow trucks sent to help clear the road - were getting stuck in ditches and on grades. A 2.5 hour wait for a section 5 minutes from home to be cleared added to the fun.

Logan, as usual, is loving every minute of play time jumping through the drifts. He is truly a snow dog.

We have lots of wood in the house - Jeannette spent the day yesterday shoveling and hauling supplies into the house from the garage once she realized that the snow flurries were actually more like snow balls.

hurray for winter
