Isn't this the craziest weather?

It started Friday with that awful snow storm. People were stranded all over the city-in bus terminals, airports, subways, malls and on the roads. Businesses and schools closed early.

Saturday was beautiful. The major roads were clear but the Holiday shopping made moving about Toronto hectic.

Sunday had its ups and downs with the snow. We woke up to snow covered roads and driveways again. It turned sunny in the early afternoon and then the sky darkened and the snow blew in furiuosly again. It's 4:00 p.m. and all is calm once again.

This year we decided to finally get a snowblower, after 10 years of trying to make that decision. Last year did us in. Shovelling out 6 times in one day-that was enough. Well we have 110 ft of driveway and it gets cleared out now in about 15 minutes with the heaviest snow. This was the best investment.

We are babysitting our pug-shitsu/beagle "grandchildren". They are having a blast in the snow. We put on their hoodies and off they go.

I must say cudos to the people who work for the city-they are clearing our roads in record time.
