Time to Hide


Winter came to visit our province in full force yesterday.
The snow swirled, blasted, and climbed everything in its path.
By the end of the day the snowfall had reached a new record...
45 centimetres in 24 hours!

Being a family of six, we took the clearing of the driveway and walkways in shifts.  By the end of the day not one of us could lift more than a log for the fireplace, where we gathered to rest our sore muscles. 


This is the view outside of the same kitchen window.
A good day to hide and stay inside!

  2. Hi Rosemary,
    Wow....it's really wintertime. I saw the the news on TV here in Holland. It;s terrible! I remember when my oldest son was born 34 years ago the snowfall was also of that height.

    Just hide and stay inside and warm!

  4. That is a lot of snow. The plants and gardens welcome the snowy blanket, all snug beneath it, but the humans and gardeners must hunker inside the house. Enjoy hiding inside for a while!

  5. Yikes! That's a lot of snow in 24 hours and a lot of shoveling. I love the look of snow but having to remove it from sidewalks and driveways is another story!

  6. Oh Rosemary, I can still remember what it was like getting snow like that when I used to live in Norway, we had snowfall like that every winter. Fortunately you are many people who can take shifts shovelling the snow! Here in London we have just rain and more rain. They said on the news today that 2012 was the wettest on record for England and if it rains a bit more the next few days it will be the wettest on record for the whole of UK too. Lets hide and stay inside, good idea :-)

    Take care and stay inside, the shoveling is hard work, I know well.

  17. Oh my!
    That is a lot of snow for me!
    It reminds me of snow storm we had in Raleigh, NC, some 12 years ago!
    It was so severe the municipality was not prepared, so our son couldn't got to school for 3 weeks!
    Enjoy the passing into the New Year, Rosemary, and may it bring much light and warmth to you and your loved ones!
    Cheers!

  22. What is it with you a snow Rosemary,
    Here in the Netherlands there is nothing and it is only wet and gray. It seemed wonderful to see so much snow at once :-)
