Snow Day... not officially


Along the lines of my previous post in that this is also weather related. We had a Snow Day on Sunday, not an official one as the title suggests because there is no school on Sunday. This same storm hit parts of the U.S. and was described as having "crippling" effects. Luckily for us it happened on a Sunday when we had no plans. Some Christmas shoppers and retail folks may not share my happiness as this would have probably been a good day to hit the malls. Although they said the storm was to start Saturday we didn't get much until Sunday and then when it did hit we got over 30cms in under 8 hours. Once again luckily it was on a Sunday to give clean up crews time to clear both the main roads and the side streets. I can't imagine what would have happened if this were on a working weekday.
We shoveled at least twice and from the picture I've attached you can see that there was some play time as well.
I could use a little Global warming after this.
