Snow! This winter has been amazing. I've never seen this much snow since we've been here and today must set some sort of record. First a little bit of background: We're back in Esperaza temporarily, having fled the cloud of wood smoke surrounding and infiltrating the house in Ste. Colombe, brought on by sudden cold weather. So we decided to take the trip back to Esperaza and stay for a day or two - and then we saw the weather forecast: heavy snow today and tomorrow, temperatures way below freezing at least through Wednesday. So here we are in Esperaza, camping out as it were since we moved most of our stuff to Ste. Colombe last week. We woke up this morning, took a look outside and saw it was snowing. Not what we'd call heavy snow but it has kept up all day, unrelentingly, and has now piled up about 15 inches of the stuff!!!! And it's still snowing. Of course we have nothing like a snow shovel; they don't even sell them in this area. We're not in any need of one, since we stocked up on food yesterday, knowing it would be too unpleasant to want to go out.
In house-related news, I learned that we can actually inhabit the house before the new septic system is installed, which will make all of that much easier.
OK, wasn't able to post this yesterday because of continuing power outages. Things seem better today, and it has stopped snowing!
