The Monday after.

So Saturday nights and Sundays event was a little above the ‘minor’ but still way below a Major storm. T’was the wind that usually does it.

I spent part of the early morning attaching some of the larger snow drifts at the back and south side of the house, the north side was clear.
Then the wind came up again [NE] so I decided the exertions would be wasted until things calmed down.

When I came back into the house Fran was going through a cook book, this took me back but I calmly asked “what you going to cook up”?

“You are going to make some advent cookies” was the reply. Nice to have the lines of authority down pat to avoid any confusions.

Early afternoon we decided to take a walk down town. This was sort of a mistake for several reasons.
One was that the snow had not had a chance to settle so it was like walking along the high side of a very sandy beach.
Second were some of the idiot ski doo operators who treat the town’s roads as some sort of ego building race track. One woman in particular is a real over abuser; she has been for some years.
These idiots’ antics are some what minamized by the sensible drivers, happily in the majority.

That said you had to have your wits about you with all this motorized traffic sharing the same space as pedestrian traffic. Plus I had an over active dog on the leash, Siutik was in a very playful mood, and there were an overabundance of loose dogs on the roam for her to play with.

Any way; one side of the roof has been trussed out on the Northern store. With trusses that close it should hold a big snow load. [Take note of the calm around the right side of the hill in the background].

At the dock several people were de snowing one speed boat, several other boats awaited there owners attention.

While at the dock the relative calm was replaced by sudden gusts of wind accompanied by light sleet coming in from the south. The winds picked up quite a bit as can be seen in the last two pictures. Things calm down somewhat later.
