It's been a pretty quiet week. Ed's still sick but starting to feel better, I got sick and think I'm starting to feel better. We've had bitterly cold weather and now a blizzard has hit. On the news they are saying that it is the worst winter storm this area has seen in decades. I found this posted on the Internet.

In fact not only our county closed all the roads but so did the neighboring counties of Perth, Huron and Grey. Ed had the police scanner on yesterday and today and heard lots of reports of stranded motorists, abandoned vehicles, as well as trucks, police cruisers and snow plows that were stuck. A good day to stay inside.

The front of the house from the road. I think the banks are higher than I am tall.

The snow is stuck in all the screens preventing you from seeing out many of the windows. The drifting is crazy in the backyard.

The new shed is faring the best. The old shed has snow half way up the door. The white lump in front of the tree is the picnic table.

Ed dug some paths for Zaph. Poor Zaph has had enough of winter.
