Winter goes on and on and on and .... In the week Newfoundland had a huge snowstorm/blizzard with over 50cms of snow. My friend told me he had a 7 foot snow drift in his driveway  and we saw pictures on TV of people opening their doors and the snow going up to the top of the doorway! . But I still wouldnt change it for anywhere else.

This morning it is snowing and blowing - pretty powder snow on top of the 10cm of ice pellets from yesterday and  the seven hours of freezing rain, another "Snow Day" for Gemma.  Because there have been so many "snow days" this year they have cancelled some of the teacher training days, and reset them, back to school days. Ah how sad

We have forecast showing blowing snow today with windchill of -15c and much the same for tomorrow and easing up on Sunday and a beautiful Monday -2c and sunny. I am taking Monday off to extend the weekend, so Skiing will be on Monday this weekend.

Short week at work this week as we have Good Friday (today) off. I am very busy at work and still enjoying it. Sunday night we watched England play well for the first time in the Six Nations tournament. AT LAST.

Our social life is good, Tango on Monday, were we are continued to be taught even more moves! How many steps can a dance have!! Last night we played pool at Dooley's on Prospect Street with the Newcomers club and then on to Pizza Delight for a group meal. I think we all had a good time. I think we spent about $80 for the four of us, for the whole evening.

Because of the windchill and blowing snow we have declared today  a "family day", We will spend it together, learning how to play Texas holdem poker, watching a video or two and ... Damn the snow plough has just come past, and built a snow wall at the end of the drive .... oh well we can learn to play poker later, out with the shovels for some soul building exercise. I hope you all have a great Easter, we have been invited to Wendy's for dinner.
