Finally, snow

You may have heard: Atlantic Canada is snowed under! Finally. We had our first major snowstorm of the year. And it's February One already. 15 cm of snow and winds of 80 to 100 km/hour. Lila and I were, unfortunately, stuck in Halifax overnight (after my dance class). So it wasn’t until late this afternoon (when the snow had tapered off and the winds slowed down) that we were able to come home. School was cancelled this morning. Sadly I had a favorite model scheduled and he is moving to China next week. I may not see him again for a while. So for once, missing school was a disappointment.

Today I shoveled the back yard at Inge’s house (where I stay a couple nights a week so I can get to my early morning classes easily--avoid the morning traffic, make sure the pup is settled) so Lila could play there (in the yard) and then I shoveled the front steps so we could leave (no one else was in the house last night, just us). Then I shoveled out my car at the lot. Then when we got home I had to shovel the long walkway to my door. It is a good thing I like to shovel snow.

It is very nice to be home with my own toys again. Tomorrow will be beautiful. They are predicting sun. Then two days of rain on the weekend of course. Fickle maritime weather!
