Well, we received about 4 inches of heavy wet snow last night and then the temperature dropped which promptly turned all the snow into ice cold cement. Our poor Saturn Vue has never experienced snow before because it was either in warmer climates or else parked in the garage. Being parked on the street last night left it as one sorry, frozen Saturn ice cube this morning when I got up to get Chris from the hospital following nightshift. I'd forgotten how numb my fingers get when scrapping windows. Our 14 yr old Bichon Frise was a little baffled too with all the white stuff. He hasn't seen snow since in a couple of years. Looks like we'll be able to hit the road tomorrow as planned. Roads are plowed and warmer temperatures are forecasted, so hopefully we'll see bare and dry roads for most of our drive south. Freightliner Ottawa is not far from where we live and Hwy 417 and they are letting me move the motorhome from the farm into their yard for the night. I'll be able to make a few runs back and forth later today as well. Not much else to do really. I want to fuel up with diesel and propane on the way in this afternoon and also check my tire pressures, so we'll be all ready to go in the morning. Hoping to be on the road by 9 am at the latest.
I ducked out for a few photos in the snow this morning. This old train looked quite striking with the white snow on its black exterior. Shot this with a Canon 17-40 wide angle zoom I picked up yesterday. Black and white too!
