snow's back

Last week, the temperature went up to 23 C, and it was lovely to feel the warmth of the sun. The first pic shows the melted field.  The second snowy shot was taken 2 days earlier.   I figured that there would be no more cross-country skiing this year.

But it ended after 3 days, and winter came back.  Today we have 90 km winds, and blowing snow that makes visibility tough.  The province has virtually closed down - schools, the college, the university, and many businesses are closed.  It may seem inconvenient, but it's like being given the gift of time.  A day off work lets me catch up on other tasks, and take a breather in the midst of a busy week.
