🦺 .. the more it snows ....

 🦺 tiddly pom .....

on Feb 22 , colder and snower [ that's a Canadian word ]

🐇 ... bunny on your doorstep

 🐇... camouflaged in grey - white fur .....

snow flurries all day. and I need to go north to Richmond Hill for a funeral.
it will be a last minute decision based on road conditions

Drive up was messy. Drive back busy and better overall 

🧦 for 02 - 20 in the ' boro .....

 🧦..... the rain in Spain .....
came here.

 light rain for hours is predicted. my view confirms this

the follow up. as per predictions 
in fact raining still. and that was the AM into 3:40 P

managed a coffee date w / friends 

⛩ and the aftermath

  ⛩ in the ' boro. a damp day. gray and windy. but warmth started about ten.
melt is on

icicles fell or were knocked off. driveway black and clear

thus. icy pellets / sleet / freezing rain. not that I can tell

I shovelled off the west back deck, b / c the crew did the side access to the deck and the east side deck. Surprise light snow and bits of ice. There was ice build up in the downspouts and I shook the ice out. used the heat gun to speed up the melt.

then I poked the nearest icicle and -> snow avalanche - 200 # of ice and snow detached itself in a chain reaction
this occurs b / c there were heating cables turned on. instead of hanging from the roof or gutters, these icicles hung on the snow bridge over the gutter. 
# 200 lbs of ice on the ground is # 200 that doesn't need the gutter 

❄ ... ' this is the winter of .....

 ❄ ... our discontent ... [come on, everyone quotes Shakespeare ]

and it is ! Again. a bleeding mix of snow and ice and whatnot.
the shake out. Scarborough might get 5 -6 inches of snow. Ice and pellets or freezing rain ... who knows ?

we are hunkered down again.  

' boro is white and high winds - that's it. our environment is storm

the aftermath. snow that was not too deep but heavy and sticky. Each shovel full was a load. The much feared ice / sleet / freezing rain didn't materialize or may still be in the offing.
The crew came and snowblowered the mess off the asphalt [ TG ]

The city plow went by - however, you had to have a generous spirit to appreciate its pass by.
The forecast said that this lot of white stuff might be difficult to budge.

So far. the really bad missed us

🧑‍💻 on FE 17 in the ' boro

 🧑‍💻 ... some preparation will be needed throughout the city.
Suggestions of a mix precipitation event - snow, sleet or ice
And snow could be a dump.

however, outside the window. sunny, slightly hazy sky

The plan. Make run to the donation store
Clear out : Xmas tree [ 6 ft ], electronics [ incl phones, wires , DVD player ]
Expecting some scrutiny re : tree and some electronics or wires or cables 
Pull up and read the signs. No one home. Thus, unload the lot.

Low on gas. At Shell pumps, the machine offered up to $ 50 use of Air Miles, yes. And they used Air Miles and Can Auto Assn. The window for carwash flashed by - I missed it. Went out the cashier and got a ticket
Oops ! line up was 9 cars at 5 min a go. That's right. Sat for close to and hour
Upshot, truck is sparkly clean and I polluted the environment

Hard to evaluate. Good or bad day

Sadly. there appears to be not much improvement in the junkiness of the workroom

Oh well.We take these days and times - as we go -and try our best

As well there was some snow clearing up on the roof. Decided that if I could knock some crap off the edges, ice and snow etc that that's less melt going down the pipes and less trouble down the road 

the aftermath. the work room is not as cluttered as stated. Picked up some garbage. Created a new pile of clothes for donation. Apparently, I am not size 34

thus. a good effort today

hibernate tomorrow. watch the sleet and ice and mayhaps snow careen around in the 50 km winds

🚝 on the 16 the of FEb

🚝 .... in the ' boro. sunny,blu ish skies. not much wind movement. temperature headed above freezing [ ? and pray ]

the internet. ask anything. lots of free advice. however. the best part is when you ask and get 32 000 hits
b/c then you are not alone

today. how to tell if the ' wool ' socks that you bought are WOOL.

yessiree Bob. take a strand and hold near a flame.
Wool curls away from the flame
Synthetics [ most likely ] will pill and ball in melting
