Heavy Snow Today

Not only was it snowing heavily, it was the kind of snow that weighs a million pounds. The snow that is backbreaking to shovel. The kind from our childhood when it would take 10 kids to push the bottom piece of the Snow Man. The one that makes snowballs leave bruises...
The Day Started Mild Enough

Smokie strutting his stuff in the morning. The weather was fairly warm and a little rain was just beginning.

Thin layer of ice on the cove.

Edgar (our new mousing cat) came out of hiding (sort of).
Instead of hiding in the basement, @Hendrix22 managed to lure her out of hiding with some cat treats. She's letting us pet her now and loves the attention. I tried a couple times to get her upstairs, but she's not having any of that yet. Tomorrow hopefully! She's sure come a long way from this morning <3 I think we're going to get along splendidly.

Bad photos again though, this time it's because it's too dim down there and I didn't want to use my flash, the bottom pic looks like she has a 3rd eye (okay and a 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th eye, basically she looks arachnid-esque) but I like the Buddha theme better so we're gonna ignore all of those other extra eyes.

The Heavy Snow
This is branch breaking shit right here I tell ya...

The tire swing is touching the ground, that should say it all.

Behind the trunk you can see a branch completely on the ground. Don't ask why I didn't photograph it from the other side LOL.

Got the other side of the tire swing though (even though it serves no purpose) BOOM.

The Old Man's Beard looks amazing with snow clinging to it.


Actually, everything looks better in the snow. I love Nova Scotia because we don't get too much winter, and the snow always melts super fast, so it doesn't get dreary and life-taking. In other parts of Canada that I have lived, the white stuff is there for the better part of a year. I will never go back to a cold climate again. It's this, or a warmer place, for me for the rest of my life.
