23/02: In the Land of Snow and Ice

Posted by: The Agnew Family
I'm happy to report that Zaph is his old self again. What a relief.
Winter continues here in the land of snow and ice. While Ed and I were in Florida we saw a photo of a huge snow drift taken in Bruce County. The Canadian Flag and Go Canada Go was painted on it. Last week we decided to go looking for the snow drift (a neighbour told us where there was an eleven foot drift).
We drove north through the town of Paisley and eventually found this drift. I would love to have seen the machine that had cut through it. This was an amazing drift but not the one that was posted.
We decided to take a different route home and came across this drift. Not as tall as the first one, but I'm pretty sure it was the one we were looking for. The writing was faded but the flag was there and so was the Go Canada Go ---- just as I remembered it.
One of the branches of the Saugeen River flows through Paisley, and it has a small dam on it. Ed thought It was photo material.
Over the last couple of days we had above freezing temperatures and some rain .... Ok just a degree or two but with the rain it was enough to melt some of the snow. We can see the top board of the fence in the backyard, the hot tub has emerged and the road is mostly clear. I found the storm drain on the road and cleared the snow off it giving the water somewhere to go. For a day there was hope that spring is on it's way. Unfortunately, winter has returned. The temperature has dropped and it's snowing. It is February after all.
As life is a little slower in Walkerton, especially in the winter, I'm only going to my blog once a week. I'm sure no one wants to read my "snow complaints" on a daily basis.
