Baby, It's Cold Outside


 We spent a good part of yesterday shovelling a mountain of snow off our driveway and paths. More overnight, and snow is predicted for the next few days. In addition, the temperature has dropped -- it's minus 22 C this morning. 

But it's not all work. We Canadians have a good sense of humour.

The weather outside is...

not at all like a normal Canadian winter.









It's warm and raining as I type this. Oh, I miss the good times - NOT!

It's (S)no(w) Joke!

We have been inundated with the white stuff this week. While waiting for the snow to stop, I've been working on a volunteer project, so no time for blogging. Then the blizzard passed and we were out all day yesterday, shoveling and praying that the city plow wouldn't drive by and block our driveway with any more snow. 

 









But I still love Canada.

Winter Fun

Yesterday we had freezing rain alternating with ice pellets. Today it's raining, but snow is predicted for the afternoon. It's a good thing we Canadians have a good sense of humour.

Christmas in Canada

Even the beavers come in from the cold.





Canadians are polite.



This happens to us every time it snows.


Dog-tired.


Sounds good to me.





 

Happy holidays from the frozen north!

Just Another Canadian Winter

Like most of the northeastern portion of North America, we were hit with quite a snowstorm yesterday. It snowed the previous night and then all day, so by evening the snow was pretty deep. Today we will spend a few hours shoveling the white stuff from the driveway if our electric snowblower can't handle the load. But when you live in Canada, it's pretty much par for the course.

Handy for cooling your beer


Kittehs don't like snow




Winter fun!



Come Spring, you'll find it all!

Happy Birthday Canada!




Canada is a great place to visit. You will find that we're very friendly and welcoming to everyone.

No judgment here





It can be just a tad cold in the winter





But we take it in stride





Even when the ice and snow have gone, it can get pretty windy on the open Prairies





Canadians are known for being very polite. "Sorry" is the second most common word you'll hear, the first being "Eh".





Our proud young country gets 148 birthday spanks today.  Let the celebrations begin!
