Well........

After digging out from the 14" snowfall we had this week, now the temps have plummeted........
It's about 0f here now.....
And the kitties say.....'brrrrrrrrrrr'.

Good thing they are strictly indoor kitties.

Had to kick in the furnace for the first time this year to supplement the heat from the crunchers and keep the house toasty for the kitties.

Turned much colder here now, with more cold to come.

(Cold for here, not by some of your standards though!)

It was supposed to rain yesterday. Hard. Yet, not a drop. Supposed to rain today too. So far nothing. If the local weatherman has to say something other than "mostly sunny skies" they panic and get it wrong.

A follow up to this past weeks storm that turned on the Great Lakes Snow Squall Machines following the storm itself. In seven days we went from green grass and playing golf to the dead of the winter!

Between Wednesday, Dec. 9 and Saturday Dec. 12 at 1 a.m

Recent snowfall in some Central Ontario communities
Minden 100 cm (3 feet 4 inches)
Bracebridge 100 cm (3 feet 4 inches)
Halls Lake 80 cm (2 feet 8 inches)
Muskoka 67 cm (2 feet 3 inches)
Huntsville 50 cm (20 inches)

My Driveway felt like 200 cm worth of shovelling as the winds kept reloading it.

But its all in the norm for us here . . . No need to call in the army ...

Seems this isn't going to be the low today.
