More about that foul storm I mentioned yesterday . . .
We were predicted to get 15 cm of snow. Because we are near the shore of Lake Ontario and the water is warmer than the surrounding air mass, the storm system picked up extra moisture from the lake. Said moisture promptly froze and fell as more snow!
By the time the storm headed east we had 30 cm of fluffy white stuff on the ground.
This required three bouts of shovelling, followed by a fourth after the plow had plowed us in!
By mid-afternoon I was sore and cranky.
We are not used to this much snow in December.
We live in a sub-division which was built as land was running out in the area - meaning large houses on small lots with no lawns . . . where does this snow go?
Anyway, here are some shots from our fun times ...
Remember the joy of a snowfall when you were a child? Remember? Shame that joy becomes work and sore muscles as an adult.
LOL
I'm sure the city snow plow came by during the night so the windrow had time to harden up for you.
Guess all that exercise meant you could eat a few more of those delicious cookies you hardy Canadian!

Actually we were smart (for a change)-as soon as we heard the plow we donned coats and raced out to shovel. I have dealt with that frozen pile in the past and swore 'never again'!
