38 centimeters and still counting but at least we knew it was coming.
School and daycare cancellations were announced since yesterday. Workplaces strongly suggested that people work from home if possible. Radio stations warned listeners to stay in.
And all of this before snow could even hit the ground.
Remember the snow storm days from long ago when we waited for the school bus to arrive and when it didn’t, you simply had to stay home? Then your parents were miffed because one of them would have to call in sick to stay home with you? We all had to roll with the punches.
Today, the roads are empty and if you have to get somewhere fast, good luck with that. With the thick layer of ice still hidden under all that snow, it is treacherous to say the least.
Being a planner, I prepared for it – extra groceries bought and delivered to the older folks in my family, cars and snowblower topped with gas, house kept at a toastier temperature just in case there is a another power failure…
The only thing that would make this snow day almost perfect would be a tasty bowl of Pho for lunch. But as you can see from the photo above, any kind of delivery service will be impossible until the snowblower is put to use.
But I don’t mind being snowed in. It sounds weird but there is something comforting about going about my day with the snow gently falling outside and listening to “snow stories” from listeners on the radio.
How is your day going? And are you snowed in too today?
Bisous,

I got an early call to come to work a couple of hours sooner than I should… Because I live about 5 minutes of walk away from my job. Apparently, others couldn’t drive to the office. Yay snow! *Grr*

Goodness. I’ll elaborate a bit. I love the snow but I wouldn’t want to have to clear sidewalks or stairs. I remember when I lived up North, it snowed heavily. When I opened the front door, it was a wall of snow. Later, I had to crawl out of the second floor window with a broom to find my car. LOL
