Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!!

Guess we won't barbeque tonight. We've had lots of snow and high winds since Thursday. The snowblower has had a good workout. Tomorrow it's time to get up on the roof and clear off the accumulation. This morning we woke up to a howling blizzard. The annual Christmas breakfast was being held at the church so we headed down a little earlier than usual.

The choir had been preparing "For Unto Us a Child is Born" from Handel's 'Messiah' and there was some concern about a Plan B in case there weren't enough members able to make it to church in the storm. However, not a single member was absent! When you look up faithful in the dictionary, there should be a picture of Grace Church's volunteer choir. The anthem went exceptionally well and we all felt very good about it.

Although it's stopped snowing now, the red screen of death is on the weather channel. Looks like good weather on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. I really don't care a lot about the weather as long as we're able to get to Ottawa airport on Boxing Day to get our flight to London to visit PetDoc and Noise. Just to make the world even smaller, Gananoque friends are going to be in London while we are there and we've already made plans to get together. Hard to believe that in five days Christmas will be over and we'll be in London.

how much snow did you get in total?

In total, about 30 cm. Hard to say for sure, because it's been blowing hard and drifting a lot.
