And There Was Snow!

I woke up this morning to a snowstorm. And by dinner time, there was about 10 inches that had accumulated and it was still coming down. It's supposed to get worse tonight and pile up to well over a foot! Quite a storm if I say so myself! It made for a long, cold workday! Everything just takes longer when you're dealing with that much snow. There were drifts of it in certain spots well over my knees. But I stayed dry and warm in my new insulated boots. I just need to invest in some snowshoes methinks...

Gordon and I went to town after chores. Our first stop was Tim's of course. Gotta get that coffee warm up! I sprung for a large today. Felt like a large coffee kinda day. It probably wasn't the best day to be out driving around. On our way back home, Gordon looked over at me and said, "This day isn't fit for any man, bird or beast and yet here are two fools out drivin around!"

We got home safe and sound and then he headed home early since there was little more work to be done. I did the remainder of the chores and feeding and then went off into the wild to brave the storm and check my traps.

The box sets were completely covered with snow and had about 4 inches piled on top of them. It made them pretty hard to find. Not something I had accounted for when I was making sets last night. But I found them all and, sadly, they were all empty. We'll see how we fair tonight.

On my way back to the house I ventured in to the pine forest. It's quite a neat little spot. It's the Fangorn of Nova Scotia. If you follow that trail in, you'll never make it back out alive...

I do like it in there. The storm was getting stronger and the sky grew darker so I decided it was time to pack it in and head back to the house.

If you click on the picture and look closely, you can see the lights on in the house. It's like my own, personal, motel 6! But less sketchy and much cleaner!

I made it to the warm house and sat by the fire while I ate my supper. Two grilled cheese and peanut butter sandwiches that I dipped in a bowl of hot tomato soup. I swear it was like a Campbell's commercial!

It was quite an adventurous afternoon and a new and exciting weather experience. The snow will probably stick around for quite sometime, seeing as it wont be above 5C for the next week or so. I hope everyone is having a good Thanksgiving Eve down there in the lower 48!

Until tomorrow!
