Weather Report

We definitely have had some wicked weather here in the last couple of years! When I first moved to Nova Scotia twenty some years ago, I hadn't seen so much snow in my entire life. I certainly didn't know how to drive on snow and ice. Went off the road a couple of times that first year. Then the weather calmed down for a while. But not now. And I hear it is only going to get worse. After only a couple of warm sunny days last weekend, we have had intense rains along with strong winds. The rain has stopped for a while but not the wind. There are just a few patches of very tired snow left on the ground. Meanwhile it has been fascinating watching the ice break up on my lake. It is almost gone now, just a few pieces floating around. The lion of March hasn't calmed down yet.
