Weather or not . . . (short . . . ish)

That title is from my Mum, who used to say to me (when I whinged on about the weather):

“Weather is weather, whether we like it or not . . .”

Snow fell through much of the nught, I gather, ’cause this is what we woke to:

It has drifted onto the balcony (some from the day before):

This was the back path yesterday morning:

This morning:

But already the maintenance guy has been out with the snowblower and now it’s back to this:

It is pretty . . .

In case you’re worried, I will not be posting “latest snowfall” photos every day. 😉

This is unusual, though, even for Edmonton. I told my Aunty that if this continues, we’ll be able to step off the balcony and walk away . . .

I’m going out in it at 10 this morning; Mum has an appointment at the eye specialist and I’m going with her. My sister will pick us up and bring us back, though. We’ll need her support on those front steps.

Have a great day, my friends; if it’s raining, do stick your head out and inhale that lovely wet earth and plants scent for me, will you? You can sniff the lovely wet dog, too, if you like . . . 😉 I still miss dogs . . . maybe wet ones not so much . . .

Forgot to say: it’s -15C (-21C with the windchill) and another 5 cm (2inches) is expected this morning!

I apologize to your FeedReaders for the updates, but right after I hit ‘post’, I looked out again . . .

See those? Maybe a higher resolution picture will do it . . .

You can see the new snow accumulating on the back path already . . . It’s almost enough to make me go out and build some snow people – if I had a snowsuit . . .
