Winter came early to Marystown and stayed. Last winter we didn't get any significant snowfall until late January but this year we got snow in early December and it stayed with several snow storms to following throughout January.
Enough snow came that I went out and bought a snow thrower - it's an 8 HP 28" Toro which has made me realize that I should have had such an animal for years. It sure takes the work out of clearing snow. You can notice the little home my brother-in-law Mike and I made to store it as I do not have a shed. That is a project for the spring.
I took a few photos to let you know what you are missing by not being here in winter. Tonight and tomorrow we are supposed to get 40 mm of rain and temperatures aroung 7 degrees. It is supposed to stay like that for several days before it cools off again. There is one there that shows the snow piled up in the Marystown Mall parking lot where Joan works. See the mall in the background.
Not much news from here. We are both working all the time. It makes the time pass by much quicker for me as I look forward to the warmer temperatures and golfing weather.
Stay in touch and forward along any winter photos you may have. For you Pat we wouldn't mind a few pictures of the sunny south.
