Snow

25 centimetres...that's what the weatherman is calling for! I think the last time I checked there was about 3 feet out there, and that's after shovelling for 1/2 hour - thank frank my sidewalk is only about 8 feet long! I had to work this morning at 7am, so about 6:15 I called a taxi, thinking they'd need some extra time, what with the roads and all...at 10 after 7 I still hadn't got past the damn busy signal for about 8 different taxi companies so I figured I'd better start hoofin' it. I pulled out my big-ass snowmobile boots and my warmest mittens and bundled up as best I could, cranked my ipod and headed out into the blizzard. Remember, at 7am there isn't a whole lot of traffic, so "trodding" takes on a whole new meaning at this point. It took about 1/2 hour, and by the time I got there my legs were like jelly! I walk my dogs every morning, so it's not like walking is a new thing, but in this much snow it becomes quite a challenge. Glenn was the absolute best today - after standing for 8 hours at work, when the taxi company told me it was going to be up to a 2 hour wait he gave me a ride home - thanks Glenn! It snowed all day while I was at work, so any shovelling I had previously done was completely for naught, but at some point during the day my neighbour borrowed my shovel to do her walks and kindly did mine as well - thanks Theresa! Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket today...
