Another Snow Day

Where's the Driveway? We woke up this morning to find that there was a lot of snow in the Driveway this morning. I say a lot. It is more like 8ft of snow at the end of the Driveway. Here is a picture of Tom tunnelling his way to the end of the Driveway. You can see how high the snow is on Tom who is 6ft.


Where's the Car? You can see the wind mirrors of the car poking out of the snow. A Hyundai Elantra.


Here is Lewie for scale. You can see the snow in the background is up to his head. It was a lot of snow in one storm. 40 cm accumulation in total. But the winds were high at 90 km/hr so the snow really drifted in places. All business, schools and offices were closed this morning. The Main highway was closed in sections because of drifting snow. It brightened up in the afternoon and turned into a nice day off from work.



A Good Job finally completed. It took us both, well I say both, Tom mostly with a little bit of help from Lewis and I all day to shovel out. We took it slowly and took some breaks but it took a good 4 /5 hours. You can only just see the tracks on the road from the cars, mostly snow mobiles.



Well Tom was supposed to be heading off today to Corner Brook. He is supposed to be doing a quick job out there. He couldn't go obviously but is hopeful to head out tomorrow.
I am just Hopeful that we don't get any more snow like this lot!!!

North Pond Loader's 5 mins of Fame.

We have all had a busy couple of weeks. I started some training for Public Health which means I have been working full time hours this last week. It is really great but also means that other things get left on the back burners for a while. The training is really interesting and involves a lot of new information for me. I will be working with a completely different population from which I am used too. Exciting stuff! I found out that I am gonna be an Auntie which is fabulous news. The Best News really. We are planning a trip home for Christmas to see the new arrival to the family. At the end of this week we were asked by a friend to be interviewed by the local TV channel to promote there gym and talk about Physical Fitness. Initially I thought we weren't the best choice really because come on I am not exactly the ideal image of physical fitness but we agreed. There theme was families who are physically active together. I guess we fit that image. We were interviewed on Thursday at the gym and she took a lot of footage of us climbing together. It was very nerve racking being interviewed as we were not sure what to say but I think we came off OK. Hope so it is due to air on Living Nfld on CBC next Tuesday.
