While the actual snowfall to 4:30PM – 14.9cm or just shy of 6 inches – is a bit under the predicted amount it’s still a chore to clear the deck, shovel paths to the bird feeders and out to the driveway, then clear the driveway. It was a good workout.
The car can sleep under its cap a little longer.
Several weather models, the US National Weather Service, and Environment Canada all suggest a significant snowstorm will occur tomorrow. My interpretation is that between 12-20 cm (or about 4 to 8 inches) will fall starting tonight and ending Friday afternoon.
So I spent some time the last two afternoons clearing the deck and scraping the driveway/street interface – making space for more snow.

Back on Thursday.
The St. Clair River is asleep, waiting for spring – or at least a lengthy thaw.
Far across a snow-covered field, trees stand out in misty, pale dawn light.
The sun rises and illuminates a starkly beautiful landscape.
This winter scene might be considered bleak and lifeless. It can also be considered beautiful.
Winter returned today with a vengeance. After yesterdays’ temperatures of plus 12 and higher, we went down to -2 with snow and a bitter north wind. A good reminder that winter isn’t done, there is more to accept whether I like it or not.
