Blizzard

Hello everyone,
Well we had a bit of a suprise blizzard today, at least it was a surprise to me. The Daycare closed at noon and Melissa had to go get Christopher. On the way back she kinda lost her way and slipped off the road 20 feet from the house (Thanks God). Here are some photo's of me triing to get the truck out. Remember this is literally 20 feet away. The storm winds are about 40-60 km at the time of these photo's, when I came home it was about 80 km, tonight they're calling for 120km. Its pretty darn cold and windy, thats all I know. The other two are of the rescued truck taken from about 10 feet away.

A semi-natural Northern Barometer

Hello Everyone,
Tonight, we are experiencing out first real Blizzard of the season. The wind gusts are supposedly reaching 120 km. Which lead me to a suprising discovery, early in the season before your stink pipe freezes, your toilet acts as a excellent baromter (of sorts). You see as the wind whips past your stink pipe it creates a vaccuum, which causes your toilet level to drop, when the air is released in the toilet the level returns to normal. Which means at this moment I am having rapidly ebbing tides in my toilet bowl. So the moral of the story is, If your locked in a room in the north, with no windows and doors but just a toilet, you can still tell when you don't want to go outside.

Sunday Musings

Hello Everyone,
Well, Its been a hectic and confusing week ended with a bit a snowfall (as seen above, taken at 2:30pm). On Wenesday this roof was clean, Thursday and Friday it snowed a wee bit. Not bad weather but pretty constant. On Friday we all got to go out on a sji-doo ride, which was Melissa and Christophers first, they both seemed to enjoy it. Ok, they LOVED it, I still can't get used to ski-doo's being working machine's, they are just too much fun. They just make you want to yell Yea-haw after every little bump. Also snow machines aren't what they were when I was a kid, the machine I borrowed can easily travel 160 kph for extended periods of time ( I think at one point we may have even hit 40 kph, but thats us). I didn't believe this till I saw one do a wheely for about a 100 feet. The RCMP up here don't chase ski-doo's, they just try to identify the machine or ridera nd let them go, cause they ain't going to catch them (so I am told). \ We're still waiting to finalize plans for our move, we have lots of people coming and going from this store so we're just waiting for the iteneraries to work together then we'll have actual dates.
Thats it for now,
