In like a Lion!

The icestorm yesterday hit us suddenly and viciously! I barely made it home from Guelph! I had the misfortune of being the lead car for a group of cars coming down Downey Road. The road had not been plowed and the snow was so deep, the bottom of the car was scrapping the snow! I could not see the yellow line. The only thing I could do was try to keep on previous tracks made by recent cars. Visibility was very limited! 40 km per hour was speeding!

Later in the evening the snow turned to freezing rain.
In the middle of the night, we awoke to our fire alarms beeping, indicating that the power was out. Power was restored about 9:30 am so we are good to go now.

The only problem we have now is getting Chloe up to Arthur to the kennel. It seems that road conditions up there are as bad if not worse than ours and their power is still out. So here we sit, awaiting news of conditions.

I thought you might enjoy some pictures of our recent snow and ice!
