Our grand-daughter Paige turned 2 yrs old and believe it or not got a set of drums from not us - the grandparents- but from her own parents. I hope they get enough rest.
The last week of January the weather turned on us. No snow in Buffalo and about 15 degrees celsius in New Jersey. The trouble arrived in Canada when nature played its trump card and unloaded everything, ice-rain, snow and wind and this time it fell on Toronto.
Here you see Toronto was ready. Ploughs coming out on the 401, 6 abreast. Really quite efficient, but the motorists do not like it because it is slow and you cannot pass. I still say the best snow clearers are in Quebec, even when the winds cause qhite-outs, they still keep up with cleaning. My vote for worst snow clearers is New Brunswick. he new 4-lane turns into a 2-lane everytime it snows. What a shame!
We also got the bad news that there were power outages at home. Luckily it did not last in our area, but it took till sunday to get all the power back on the Island.
How many more days till summer .............. ??
