Who was I kidding? A quick look out the window revealed that a nice gentleman from the City of Gatineau had come during the night and left us a rather large anniversary present at the bottom of the driveway.

None of that here yet. The ploughs have been out a couple of times but there hasn't been enough snow to make a windrow. What there has been is wind, ferocious wind, we'd put up a snow fence to try to avoid drifts in driveway but the posts snapped off at ground level.
amount of snow and irrelevant didn't come to mind when I saw the white mass that covered my drive.

We get it all the time. Roads are ploughed in order or priority. We live on a small crescent, off a small crescent, off a dead-end in a residential neighbourhood. We are not exactly at the top of the list and the plough usually comes round in the dead of night.

When I lived in Aylmer that was the case, and then later on across the bridge in my other neighbourhood

I was awoken at 5am with coffee in bed. I thought that was a nice gesture, given that it's our wedding anniversary today.

I'm sure this will come as a great surprise to everyone but it's been snowing for a couple of weeks here in Winterpeg..
Have to say I am impressed by how efficient the snowploughs have been so far - I guess they have had loads of practice though.
And renting a townhouse in a condominium has had the great benefit of someone coming round and regularly clearing all the paths and driveways (including our front porch!)for us. A good choice made by accident rather than design!

How are those Jets doing by the way, or should I not go there?

Could cover it with a humongous car port though
