An Unscheduled Follow-Up

This is why we are in our fourth consecutive snow day. (seen on our local FB feed)



Anybody wondering why busses are cancelled today should take a good look at this picture. I showed up and the road was sanded but the rain was washing the sand right off the road. The car had slipped in the ditch first, then the plow driver tried to help him and he slipped in beside him. I backed down the road and was planning on pulling the car out of the ditch first then help the plow driver. Just as I was stopping to set up my pull my front end slipped off into the ditch on the opposite side. Keeping my cool I pulled the car out of the ditch, then helped the plow driver out who then helped me out. All in a days work and nobody or any equipment was harmed. Keep smiling everyone.

Was that you? I hope not. Well, apart from the good deed doing and such, that is always good. I just hope you were home with Cuppa and enjoying the warmth indoors!

No. We are snug as bugs in a rug here at home.

The ice hammer! Worst of all.

Glad you are snug. It does look as if more snow is headed your way.

A good time to stay home....Monday was a holiday here and then Tuesday classes were cancelled because of cold and ice.

Hubby made it into town. I took the car down the driveway, and it was tricky, but doable.
His appointment was in Perth, thankfully! Thanks for asking.

Our weather has been nasty but yours is the nastiest by far! A person needs a lot of fortitude to put up with Ottawa area winters. I am heading there next week and hope that things moderate somewhat. Take care driving and walking on that ice!!

One does have to keep their sense of humor and perspective in such weather.

I really must remember to stop complaining about our weather here in England!
