SNOW!!! (part one)

Hello all!

Yup, its been a while since we've posted to the blog, but we're gonna try to do it more often from now on. We woke up this morning to a phone call that church was canceled. Yup - canceled. After shoveling my way out onto the balcony, I put a ruler on top of the BBQ to measure the snow - it just barely stuck out the top! We've had a very gentle snow over the past 24hrs, with most of it coming lastnight.





You should be able to see some snow angels in this picture. Lisa & I were out to the Starfield concert lastnight. After having a fun walk around downtown in the snow we did some snow angels in front of our balcony just before coming in. Of course, there was only about 4" on the ground at the time and another 8" came overnight, but you can still see them.

The balcony with the blue tarp (covering my bike) is ours ...




So now you can see why church was canceled - even if people could get out (and most residential streets will not be plowed for a day or two) they wouldn't be able to park anywhere. (In case you are wondering, we live so close to the church we can see it from our balcony so I decided to walk over to see if anyone showed up. Only one other person was there, who lives about as close as us, so we chatted for a while then headed home once we knew no-one might show up.)
