Oh its' coming.... but when?!


I'm sitting here looking out my window... and see the above view... gorgeous...but lacking that wonderful white blanket of snow!....It's not that snow hasn't made it's face known in and around Nunavut yet this year.... in Iqaluit they've had 2-3 'heavy' snow falls...while I was travelling those communties had snow.... and I heard last week that people up in Qik have been snowmobiling... (that's like a 40min plane ride north!)....Heck my family even woke up in the south in Haliburton on Sunday morning to a light dusting of snow.. and inquired how much I had... when I said... none really in town!


So I sit patiently waiting the snow... I love snow... (always have)...next to fall....with the leave changing colour.... I've always LOVED snow.... and I'm just waiting for it to come and stay...I'm tired of having to deal with the DUST on the roads... from the trucks.. or from the road building in front of my house.... I just want to see WHITE... not brown....(is that too much to ask!?)

I know even typing this... people might react... "Do you really know what you are wishing for?" and the answer would be not really... am I ready for the winter? who knows....but time will tell...I arrived and there was TONS of snow.. and I remember looking out the window trying to imagine what the land looked like without that 'white' blanket lying on it... but well you know I do know what it looks like.... and I wanna see that blanket back... Now some people might think I'm totally INSANE...but here I sit and write about wanting to see the snow.....perhaps I am....and I know it's coming... I can feel it in the air.. and when I wake up there's more snow that's been added to the tops of the mountains... but I keep wondering.. when will it come to town? and when will it stay....

Snow in Haliburton again today. Wet flurries this morning, but nothing stuck!

We have snow that'll stay but not that much yet. Still lots of ground showing. I agree, bring it on!

Bring. It. On. How much money have I spent on warm clothes and boots? Show me my bucks were well-spent. Bring. It. On.

I'm one of the people that thinks your are insane. But I guess that someone needs to like snow.

I don't :P
