I have good news...and bad news!

Remember how I said I wanted the snow to stop? Well, here in Parry Sound it did! The sun came out, the snow started to melt, and things were lovely...except that it's been dropping down to -20 celsius at night! This means that all the lovely snow on the hill at the back of the house is melting, and running down the hill....and stops dead at the back of the house. It has created a lovely skating rink literally outside the back door of 40 Bay Street Bed & Breakfast! And, when it really gets going, it forms a river that flows down the side of the house, as you can see in this picture. And, to add insult to injury, because the sun is so warm, all the build-up of ice and snow off the roof has come down - and in HUGE chunks, that are too big for me to lift out of the way, now totalling blocking the path. So now, instead of shovelling, I'm outside spreading salt with everyone else! Oh well, at least the sun is shining!
