I took a couple of photos with our new smartphone. I think I like it. We've had a total of three calls so far, one from hubby in town!!!!
All of our computers are Apple products, so this is a mild learning curve, as it is an LG product. I have yet to figure out how to integrate a few things, but for now it's a working phone! [The whole saga, and why we went to a cell for in lieu of our landline. ☎️Bell Canada – Let's Talk]
We had awful winds and snow (blue), ice rain (pink) and rain (green).
I enjoy the technology that gives us information about the storms, and the impact on our work and play, is a powerful tool. Both in anticipation as well as the length of storms, and how and when to prepare. This is a good reason to stay home. There was ice rain all across the southern part of the province. 🚓ONTARIO ROADS 🚗 have been a mess!
Power outages across southern Ontario, this is a biggie.
Winter continues. We had ice pellets Thursday, Feb. 6th. Friday, big winds, and a drop in temperature over the day. The trick was, to sweep away the melted ice pellets before it all froze again. That proved impossible. We are sheltering in place! See how much the temperature dropped over the day!
Wait until next Tuesday, another storm is on its way! The systems run northeast, and another Colorado low is forming.
Saturday, Feb. 9
This is what happened in the yard. Firstly, the birdbath heater came out of the extension cord. I noticed the poor mourning doves, trying to get a drink.
I plugged it back in, and poured some fresh water in. Slowly it revved back up.
I've been working on the driveway. It was sheer ice from the back of the garage to the forest. The water drains down onto the 'lawn', which is fine. We simply avoid it.
I sent hubby into town for salt. It was time. The stores were sold out. He finally found some in a garage! We wouldn't normally worry about this, as we bring groceries in through the garage door, into the kitchen, but we can't walk out to the yard. I was worried about anyone delivering stuff.
The sun was glorious. Annie didn't leave the deck. Hooper was a good supervisor, getting himself up into the trees.
This is the back door. The snow has melted, and frozen. I have to be careful fetching wood, not that there is much left here.
Down at the meadow, this creaky tree is still splitting. We shall see how long it lasts!
