Snow Day

The kids were told that if you wear your PJ's inside out when you go to bed it's good luck towards a snow day, looks like that's right on the money. So this morning we got the word and every kids dream occured... no school due to a big snow storm last night... SNOW DAY! We had about 40cm or so of snow overnight and you can see for yourself in the photos exactly how much shovelling that is. I've been working from home myself, only taking a break to clear the driveway, that took over an hour of hand digging [sheesh!].

It's worth it though, and I know it sounds weird but it is fun, this is the biggest dump and certainly the most amount of snow we've had in two winters. Normally it doesn't snow when the temp goes much below -5C but it was -13 this morning and it was still coming down. The snow is light fluffy powder of course and doesn't stick together into snow balls, it needs to get a little wetter first, maybe tomorrow. I think we have enough depth now to get a couple of snow forts happening in the backyard, nice!The kids were disappointed that I had cleared the drive and path to our front door. They had got it into their heads that if the path remained blocked then it'd be a snow day tomorrow too, kid-logic is funny. Sadly for them I think all wil be cleared away by the evening and school is back on the cards tomorrow. But enough of that, today is a SNOW DAY! That's just awesome!

Andy, out.
