Things are getting cold around here. Seriously cold. The temperature has been dropping all day, -13 when I got up this morning; -21 now, just before it starts getting dark. The local weather forecast that we subscribe to by email is threatening -40 tomorrow night at Bridge Lake, which is not too far from us. That's downright chilly.
I did some snowplowing this afternoon - definitely a long underwear activity today! There was a five or six inch accumulation since Mike last cleared the snow on the weekend. The dogs entertained themselves by following the tractor up and down the driveway. A neighbour stopped to comment on how well our tractor clears the driveway...he has one too, but apparently doesn't have "the knack".
Today is the first day in ages that hasn't been violently windy. A large spruce snapped on Sunday night towards the "highway end" of our fenceline, and came down halfway across the road. The tree is BC Hydro's responsibility, as it's on their side of the fence. When we cleared to do the fencing, Mike called Hydro and asked if we could take these trees down - he was told to leave them alone, so we did. Someone took a chainsaw to it and dragged it off the road.
