Everything is closed today – the 104 highway, the grocery stores, the Red Cross, the University, the banks, even Jeff’s office.
(Wait, except for my job because I work from home! )
By early afternoon the webcam view was completely covered, so I had to lift the camera higher in the window:
Not quite a real blizzard, but the first snowdrifts of 2014!
Nova Scotia (at least around here) rarely gets snow drifts. Usually it just snows and piles up (and changes back and forth to rain).
Today’s weather is much closer to an Ontario snow storm. Yay! And it has been cold, around -15°C to -22°C, like a real winter. We hadn’t had a real winter since we moved here. Usually the snow doesn’t stick until after Christmas. This year the lake is already frozen over in front of our house!
The front deck now has snow deeper than my waist (but it had already started piling up for the last few weeks).
Unfortunately It is supposed to be +10°C on Monday and rain for one day before it gets cold again. This is bad bad news. We have a big ice dam across the back of the house again from December’s rain and snow mix. It will be mild for just one day. The rain is so not needed or wanted. Anyone want to get up there on our roof with a hair dryer and melt a few channels through the ice so we don’t get water damage in here? Don’t all speak at once, there are room for a few of you!

ya! A storm! It feels like Ontario, cold, windy and snow! We were told that we wouldn’t have much snow here! Surprise! I think we brought it with us!

It sure was blowing like heck here in Eastern Passage today. Haven’t seen anything like this since I moved here and I’ve spoken to locals who haven’t seen anything like this since “White Juan” in ’03. Good luck with the roof.
