Winter...finally

Typical! I've been waiting for snow to play in for almost a month and a half now, I even came to Canada for Christmas. Thought that would be a guaranteed white one. No luck there, just a little bit of rain. However....we finally got an ice storm that was crazy. As a Brit i've never seen that before, everything from leaves on trees to cars were covered in atleast an inch of solid ice. Over the past two days we got half a foot of snow and yes - you guessed it - it's almost time to go home back to rainy (and by the sounds of it excessively windy) England. Not all was lost though - we managed to get in an epic tobogganing (sledging if your english) session yesterday had some huge whipe-outs, usually when we piled myself, Jill and her mom, Terri on to one crazy carpet!! Had a blast on a little kicker some of the local kids made, although my bum is still suffering from that right now. No pain, no gain!! We are heading back for some more torture with a bunch more unsuspecting family members this evening after an afternoon get-together and goodbye party at Grandma's house.
