I<\/span>t looksSatellite image of the Dec 16 Winterstorm of 2007<\/a> like we’re in the midst of the winterstorm that earlier pested Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. The (local) forecast tells that we can expect a mix of heavy snowfall (15 cms and up) and (possibly) rain during the Monday morning hours. It is a kind of silly to see rain being mentioned: the last couple of weeks, the temperature has been hanging around the -5 to -10 degrees zone.\n<\/p>\n

I saw<\/a> that Marian (at the Internationalist) uploaded a couple of short movies to Google (one<\/a>, two<\/a> and three<\/a>), which show what a snowstorm looks like over here (I’m looking at you, Europeans). This reminds me that at one time, Alfons came over around Winter time just to see what such a snowstorm looked like. If I’m not wrong, he missed it by a week.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

For now, I haven’t decided to wait it out or start clearing out the driveway: At this stage, the snow (and pellets) are light enough to brush aside with a smaller shovel. It won’t be when it starts raining.\n<\/p>\n
