HOW much snow???

SNOW DAY!

Waking up to a blanket of snow sounds very romantic, but shovelling the driveway three times today is the real wake up call! and thanks to the three wonderful neighbours out pushing me out of the snow drift at the bottom of my driveway. I could not get out of my crescent!
So classes were cancelled by default...most had left messages that the roads/weather was too bad to be out and about. I think I am pretty safe that no one was waiting at the door.
Tomorrow will be a challenge! It isn't likely our property management will have the parking lot cleared, so I am packing a big snow shovel in case my favorite students get stuck!! Have no fear, we'll find some kitty litter and be winter ready ( kitty litter is placed under the tires if they are spinning on ice...who knew??) We've had over 20 cm fall by 3:00...20 cm= LOTS.
I am planning to get my camera ready for tomorrow. The trees are magnificent with the heavy snow on them. That would make a mighty fine Christmas card!
