Transport around the hamlet includes a variety of modes....the school bus

Walking this morning spied this polar bear skin on the wall of one house amid the plastered snow   Got a ride home later in the Home Care truck....two of us live in "uptown". This is the view from inside my front door, but borrowed a shovel and spent noon hour doing my steps, which had not been done in a while and fairly hardpacked! Previously had just had a broom so the shovel from the neighbour much appreciated but job finished with snowy parka and hat!

it is interesting because the blizzard has not really hit yet so I am off to work this morning a 20 minute walk to the clinic and quite lovely out....but still predicted for this afternoon. just prior to these things the weather changes with barometric pressure dropping, fresh snow ( large fluffy flakes ) and a temp rise from the usual minus 30 to minus 20..perfectly balmy. Out walking last night to do some visiting and they had their Xmas lights on so like stepping back 2 months! Honestly if not working would love to get out on the skis!
