Lazy start to the day.

We had another 15cm of snow last night, so it was back to shovelling in the morning. I know it sounds like alot but apparently locals tell me that sometimes you get 100cms in one storm! It is a beautiful clear day and only -8c so everyone seems to be out clearing their drives.

We had purchased a power generator before the winter because some of the Autumn storms had cut power to the house. One of the drawbacks to living out of the city. But generally the power was back on within 8 hours. Well 100cm of snow sounds like power outages would be on the cards. I was glad we had the back up of a generator no matter how small.

We went snow shoeing around some trails in New Maryland good fun and a big snowball fight. The good think about snow this time of the year is that it is dry, you can roll around in it without the slush or getting wet. I love it.

Dinner with our extended family, Julie did a good old fashioned Roast Beef and yorkshire puddings and the trimmings. Our Canadian friends love her roasts and especially with Yorkshire puddings.

We had a visit from a little red squirrel this morning, the milder air must have woken it up. I couldnt convince the girls not to feed it.... so here are a couple of photos of the cute squirrel and a view from the deck.

I am going to St John's Newfoundland next week on a business trip so I will let you know what's happening on the Rock.
