Twas a nice clear crisp morning yesterday, a thin layer of soft snow on the surface giving a good upper thigh work out but still crunchy non the less.

Walking down the shops mid morning Fran commented that we dont have any consistency in the weather patterns any more, there was a light pinky blue hue in the sky.

Later in the afternoon light snow started, then to heavier snow. Later last evening and this morning winds got up to 100 clicks.

Schools are closed in all coastal communities.

One blessing is that it sticks around (the snow that does not get blown away) unlike down St Johns way were after several feet of snow falls there is green grass two days later.
