I parked my car around 6.30 PM yesterday, plugged in the engine heater and covered the windshield with a piece of fabric. That way I don’t need to spend time scraping ice… Well, this afternoon when I wanted to go visit my teenagers, I had 15 cm (6 inches) of snow to sweep off the car – I kid you not! No wonder I’m looking forward to getting away from this for a while.
Yes – it is pretty, I love the colours and normally I would accept this is the way my world will look for the next few months. It must be the knowledge that I’ll be away from it for some time that makes me so impatient with the snow – and the cold – and the darkness!
