Yesterday, the wind was chill, and the ground was frozen hard, but the lawns were still faintly green.
This morning, early, there was a dusting of snow.
And a warning on the Weather Channel that winter was on the way. How true!
It's Black Friday in the States. Evidently White Friday up here in Gods' Country.
It's American Thanksgiving. I'm thankful. I'm thankful I live in a wonderful country, that I have great friends and family, that we get weather that never lets us get bored or complacent, that I have a warm house, and an indoor arena for the horses, and a fireplace for the cats... Our American guests arrived Thursday. They're joining us for dinner tomorrow, and enjoying the beauty of the snow.
Just like the Canadian Tire commercial:Wham. Winter happens fast!
We got quite a drop of flakes today -- well over the 30 cm. predicted. And it fell fast. Between lunch and supper, it just arrived. Thump. So tomorrow it will be shovels and snowblowers, plows and snowboots, making sure the bird feeders are filled up...
and we'll be trying to lure the chicken home, the one that went to 'ground' under the big barn rather than face the blizzard and return to the stable...
The ski hill operators will be dancing in the flakes. Brian did a quick swap of the golf cart for the snowmobile. David is pumping his fist in the air and 
getting his skis out of storage...
getting his skis out of storage...It's beginning to look a LOT like Christmas out there!
Does make everything look beautiful after a dusting of snow though doesn't it? Time to make sure the snowmobile is working!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Our freezing rain was quite hazardous. Lots of accidents. Snow I can deal with! In fact, blizzarding even as I write. Cheers from Perth !
