Another snow day!

 Our Vancouver grandkids (Bryony and Cluny) are having fun in the snow. It appears they went to another race event last week! 

I've been out playing in the snow, as well. Critter action on the trailcams has been limited. The snow is knee-deep, and critters are better hunkering down and saving their energy. This includes Nutmeg!

 

Meantime, Cinnamon was fishing. I cleaned the tank yesterday, scrubbed out the pump and filter. Then I added a piece of plexiglass from my spare tank. 

Joe bravely went out for groceries with the impending storm. He mentioned that the Canadian flag was broken. You can see the depth of snowcover. I knew snowshoes would be mandatory.

Spring is coming, I keep telling myself. I'm ready for a change from winter.

It's not so easy in towns and cities, as there isn't anywhere to throw it on a small property. 

I tried going down the hill to the meadow, but even with the snowshoes I was too tired.

The forest was quiet. I've moved a trailcam, this is my non-mental note. You can see it on the left, below.

This is hard work! 

Meantime, it began to snow again. Just a light one in the day, then it picked up. Honestly, I'd rather have snow than rain or freezing rain. I just saw the snowplow go by, lights flashing in the dark. I mentally thank them!

I visited Track My Plow. Lots of humans out there working on our roads. Thank goodness for our tax dollars at work. They deserve a living wage.

 

This is what I can see right now. It is supposed to snow all day, too. 

Two cats are out on the front deck. You can see Cinnamon looking around. We shall see how long they last. It's -10℃ and there is blowing snow, with horizontal gusts. The bird feeders show the depth. 

I cleared a path on the back deck to measure. It's 7 a.m., and we've 17 cm that has fallen.

I don't know if I should start after coffee and brekkie, or just hunker down until it stops falling. The wind blows it right across the driveway. We'll see you on the other side.
