Respite.


A welcome warming, though brief, is upon us. We did not get hit with the big dumps and winds that hit south. About 4cm of snow, -6 yesterday, back into the deep freeze and wind by tomorrow it seems. Photo taken this morning.
I have been hearing of all sorts of sad stories of people stranded or ending up in out of way airports due to the storm. Having many decades of experience in a northern climate you would think by now the airlines would have figured out some way to deal with these situations with emphasis on customer convenience.

The daughter and GD had there own busy times yesterday too. GD was due to depart Toronto on Sunday, no cigar.
So being a some what experienced traveler, and bright girl, GD did not sit back and depend on Air Canada. GD booked a train from Bellville to Montreal. Her mom sought out a place to stay in Montreal for 2 nights and booked her on Air Labrador into Goose Bay. With luck and the spirits blessing GD may be home tomorrow, wait and see on that before the champers is popped.
