Thought you meant total. My bad.

Freezing rain at the moment. Hopefully the snow hanging off the roof doesn't fall on someone.

We have a fair bit but never mind that, quick get out there with a bowl, you have meringue on the roof!

Yummy...

Our front window is one big sheet of ice at the moment. Crazy.

We had it all on Tuesday night. Snow, blowing snow, ice pellets and freezing rain.

It took hours to clear it yesterday, even with a snowblower. It's hard to shift snow that you can bounce a brick off.

Had pretty much the same last night. Snow then freezing rain and now rain.

Boy does freezing rain make a mess of things.

Public transit isnt running at the moment which has people ticked online as they cant get to work.

Schools are closed again though. There has been 1 school day this week.

Funny thing, snow.

A little bit of snow in Ottawa and all the school buses are cancelled. They are almost never cancelled in Gatineau. The two cities are adjacent.

They are here too, so gallantly I took the day off to hang out with HID. I thought it'd be nice to go out for a posh boozy lunch and then go drunken sledding or just make a day of it and go bar hopping. Unfortunalty, I'm stuck helping her put together (meaning, I'm formulating and writing, while she lays on the sofa watching another chick flick) a research grant proposal. It's meant to be my day off too.

I think we are married to twin sisters.

Souvette could Chickflix for Canada!

Bob the goldfish had surgery.

20 year old Bob had a tumor he needed removed.

At 20 Bob is at the top end of expected life expectancy but some have made it into their 40's.

I won a gold fish when I was 5 in 1984. That is the fish that got me interested in aquariums, the fish passed of natural causes in 2002.

Goldfish are actually quite intelligent and can recognize people and well you can become quite attached to them like any other pet, so I can see why the owners of Bob opted for surgery.

This was our local town- just down the road- we used a different vet- they have a habit of saving fish..

So why the hell didnt someone save Grandad the lungfish and mail him to North Norfolk then?

I think granddad may have not survived the flight....

Not surprising to see multiple stories from the UK about fish. Aquariums and fish seem very popular there.

Yeah, there is never enough going on in Norfolk to generate any real news and nothing else to do apart from inbreeding and keep sick goldfish

Not a good night to be on the roads.

Stop moaning. You chose to live in the middle of Bumblenaff Nowhere.

But the Gods chose to dump on Chilllawack not us (we were spared last night and got very little) and then separated us by blocking all the highways lead to the evil city in the West - divine intervention I reckon!
