Snow Day Please

I've been reporting that our snow has disappeared. Tomorrow (I'm writing this at almost 8 pm (your midnight) we are expecting a storm (ha, ha) of 10 - 15 cm and heavy winds. 

We are accustomed to having several 'snow days' per winter with school closed and everything else closed or canceled. So far we've had none and people are dying for a proper storm and a 'snow day'.  I work at 6:30 pm and would love to have a shift off.

The music is from Islander, Catherine MacLellan, who knows what a snow day is all about. Catherine won many awards at the PEI Music awards recently and is the daughter of legendary Island songwriter Gene MacLellan who's song, Snow Bird, was made famous by Anne Murray.

surfs up Mary, like the song as well, very peaceful, nice photo
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Derek. I'm happy you listened to the music.

our snow had disappeared too over last weekend, but we just got more the last two days with more on its way as well
Mary MacADNski: Not much fell overnight but it is to snow till noon or so then the winds come.

This is mimicking the sea Mary
Mary MacADNski: Snow drifts often do. They can be very beautiful as well.

I thought it was only in this country that everything shut down for the snow! It looks so pristine in your picture - lovely when it's like that, but it soon becomes tiresome.

Mary MacADNski: Snow doesn't shut us down. It's the wind. When there are heavy winds with the snow, blizzard conditions makes it too dangerous to be on the roads.

Did someone say Anne Murray??!! She will be singing at our wedding ceremnony, Mary! smile

Your image reminds me of my youth and those days eons ago when I saw snowdrifts like this. What a delightful, sunshiny day! I hope you get your 'snow day' off!
Mary MacADNski: Are you serious, Ginnie? Anne Murray in person? Here it is morning and the snow wasn't as heavy as predicted but it's not over and the wind hasn't begun.
Well captured Mary - I can even see sparkly bits in the snow!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Pamela. Those sparkly bits are hard to capture.
Superb capture Mary. Quite impressive!
Mary MacADNski: Thank you, Richard. By the looks of things we certainly won't have anything similar this time.

You've got much more snow than my image today, Mary! smile I thought that it was just the UK where everything stopped for a few flakes of snow! At least you get a good dump by the sound of it. Thanks for the music; I remember "Snow Bird".
Mary MacADNski: This shot is from last year. We've had very little snow this year. The snowfall yesterday gave us 10 -15 cm. When it gets light out I'll be able to see if the overnight winds gave us any sculptures.
Oooh thats lovely, love the glistening snow, really nice Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Linda. When it become light enough to see outside, I'll see if we have any new wind-formed sculptures.
These scenes make great pictures Mary..I love them..until they turn to slush.
Mary MacADNski: Yes, it's pretty for a while then becomes something to shovel and drive through.

That looks like a very dangerous surf Mary. Im done with the snow already but I hope your wish comes true smile
Mary MacADNski: We did get our storm now if I could get some more time off, I will get out into the winter wonderland with some snowshoes.

Having a shift off from the cruel slave driver boss, only means you are going to do glass work. Shift off then means you only shifted your work focus smile

You catcha my drift, like I think your snow drift makes a great picture.
Mary MacADNski: I don't have a window commission this year but am in the midst of three paintings and, yes I spent an hour or so with them. The best part of a snow day is the holiday feel of it even if you can't get anywhere.
Wow Marry! Beautiful!
Mary MacADNski: Another South African this week said he'd like to come to Canada to experience snow. Will we make reservations for two? LOL
