Sunrise on the day before Christmas reveals a newly fallen 20 inches of snow |
First use of the Kubota tractor and its snowblower this winter |
Even, except for the drifts. They sort of undulate.
We just had two days of snow here in this part of Northwestern Ontario and the result is 40-50 centimeters (18-20 inches). And just like the song goes, it is crisp, -22 C or about -5 F. It was our first major snowfall of the winter. I had only put the snowblower on the tractor a day earlier.
We weren't in danger of having a brown Christmas, however. There were about three inches of white stuff that had gradually accumulated over December before the big blast.
Say, did you see the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn? Me neither. It is preordained that celestial events like this only happen during cloudy skies.
Brenda and I wish you a safe Christmas. That is about the best we can give each other right now. We will make merry next year.

I saw the conjunction. You didn't miss much- just looked like a big star. Guess I needed a telescope (or better eyesight!).
Hey Dan was lucky to have a clear night where I could see it through my telescope it was nice but not spectacular but then again I don't know what I really expected I have seen more spectacular things but it was nice to see
