Snow, rain, freezing rain, hurricane force wind and one hell of a fire. Last night we stayed up until 2:00 a.m. due to the storm. At once point a large shingle flew off our roof and later we were without power for 45 minute. Over 48,000 homes in the province lost power last night.
Luckily we have a propane fireplace which does not depend on electricity plus we have a generator. A local landmark however was not as fortunate. The Opera House burned to the ground last evening in the midst of the storm.
Today the forecast is for 20 to 60 cm of more snow. I plan to spend the day cooking, baking Leftover Christmas muffins (the recipe is on our family blog Never Trust a Skinny Cook) reading and quilting. Ironically enough, the fabric I am sewing with is titled, It Spring Yet? In the middle of this two day noreaster, spring seems a long ways away.
Ouch! I have been watching this storm as my brother & SIL live in Nova Scotia! My mom is in PEI and I don’t know if they’re getting it quite as hard as you guys.
Stay warm and stay safe!
Thanks for the good wishes, regardless of where you are live in the
Maritimes, it is one messy day.
