Just after the Christmas break we had our first significant snowstorm of the new year. This storm was forecast to dump approximately 30cm wind driven snow overnight easing up Saturday morning.

This was enough to close most businesses, but not West Side on Torbay Road so Sandra and I headed out for another fantastic Chip Tournament. The weather didn't slow many participants down so we had a great turnout and a lot of fun. Sandra and I took 2nd place in this week's event!

Although the driveway drifted in pretty good while we were out, we easily got the Murano in off the street in front of my truck where the snow wasn't as deep.

By Saturday morning the snow had stopped although winds remained high.

My trusty Honda 9/28 Blower got to work clearing the driveway with ease. The basement door and back deck were another matter as they had to be cleared by hand.

Once the wind died down the boys were eager to get out in the snow on their Catio!
