The dogs have been sleeping inside so that we can limit Cookie's activity with her busted up leg and all. This has been going on for a few weeks and working out well. But last night Cookie was pacing and pacing - she just would not settle down. Once a was able to ignore her noise I could get back to my much needed sleep. The power must have gone off during the night because the sun rise alarm clock did not wake me up, the pacing and cloud filtered light coming through the window did - but not too worry the end of our slumber was right on time. We knew that we would have some snow on the ground this morning as the clouds last night looked dense like a snow storm, but we were not expecting the dump we got. Power outages usually mean either high winds or heavy snow loads, we got the later.
There was NO snow left in our yard before we went to bed last night, there are a few scattered piles from the driveway being cleared but the ground was bare and dry. Lorne Mountain even was upgraded to a moderate wild fire warning yesterday because it was so dry. But not this morning.
We are in a good situation with the garden, all of our plants are still inside under the grow lights and beside the heater, so we are not at risk of loosing anything. And most importantly, i suppose, we love the snow.
Just to make all this a little funnier, we are headed to Vancouver in two days - their weather forecast is to be sunny and in the mid-teens (a 20 degree difference from what we are enjoying this morning). Should be fun to go from this to the summer flowers and palm trees of Vancouver.
Happy hump day everyone.
Colin
