Default OMG.....Its snowing???

Its snowing in Bolton, Ontario?

Having only been here eight weeks, was just getting around to thinking about winter, think I need to think faster.

Don't worry...I'm sure it will go away soon...Bolton is at quite an elevation compared to Toronto and Lake Ontario, so it is probably raining to the south.

In all honesty, you won't really need to worry about snow until about December 1.

There's a cute lawn tractor with rear blower for sale in Shelburne, asking $9800, you might want to snap it up.

Ssssssh, Chris will be up the road to buy it....

I know here in Bolton we get no where near the amount of snow as other places.....Plus we only have a two car driveway, and three children who can shovel.

I just cannot get over how quickly the seasons change. We had a glorious weekend, and it's like some one turned the timer to winter yesterday.

Glad the children took coats this morning, and cannot wait to see their faces when they arrived home from school.

Thanks Zoe......

Let the winter culture shock continue... Steep learning curve.... me thinks!

Hmmm, winter and fashion in Canada, are they allowed to appear in the same sentence?

Hang on.... Is fashion allowed in Canada????

Very true..... I am almost as excited as the children, apart from the driving bit.... that scares me shitless.
