I'm Ready

Thankfully it didn't snow anymore yesterday so once I got the driveway shoveled and the car cleared off, it didn't just get covered up again. And today the sky is clear and blue and the sun is shining...actually makes the snow really pretty!

I got my Winter tires put on today (and no I'm not that late! my neighbors just did their yesterday and they are lifelong East Coasters!) and now I feel like a true Haligonian. I guess it's only right, since we've been here almost a year now. My, how time flies.

Another bigger storm is predicted for tonight into tomorrow morning. 20-30cm of snow accompanied by some strong winds. Oh joy. So I properly cleared our porch stairs and salted them and scraped out the last bits of snow from the driveway. I dug out the edges of the mouth of the driveway the best I could because last year the previous owners didn't do that...they just kept driving over the snow and it turned into an ice block that we couldn't get rid of until March. I dumped some salt on it too to try to head it off before the new snow. There is a slight chance of power outage (as there is anytime it gets windy here) so my flashlights have batteries, I know where the blankets are, and I always have plenty of candles. I guess that's about as prepared as I can get.

Hopefully the power doesnt go out because I have a cozy weekend of reading, movies, baking, and cooking planned. I don't care if it snows to high heaven because I don't really plan on going out...but losing power would stink. I like power outages at night for about an hour, but after that they aren't so much fun.

Wish me luck. Happy weekend everyone!
