We got a hint of how snow works when you live close to the lake in the County. There might not be any snow in Wellington or Picton, but down by Sandbanks it can be white-out conditions! We have a great guy, Brian Hineman of Brian’s Lawn Service, who takes care of our plowing. He actually doesn’t plow but has two snow blowers. The difference is Brian can get right down to the drive and  can direct where the snow ends-up. Brian does a really great job of clearing our drive as it’s pretty big. As you can see we also do some blowing ourselves, and by “we” I mean deb!

The snow has been coming from the west, off Lake Ontario. And the winds have been averaging at 25 K/Hr. We know this because  my brother-in-law Johnny gave deb a weather station that tracks these sorts of things – wind, internal and external temps, humidity – it’s really a great gift! A combination of snow from the south-west and strong winds equals lots of snow on the screened porch, which is coming along and almost finished!

Now we aren’t complaining about the snow, because it’s just so very beautiful. As the water is now frozen we are now able to walk through the marsh , and it is so very magical.

We are  feeling quite blessed to have such a wonderful place to live!
