What's A Little Snow, Eh?

Conor didn't want go out early in the morning with Dad, preferring to stay warm inside watching the Emperor's New Groove. But by mid-afternoon we couldn't hold him back. And it isn't officially a snow day at our house until Conor has had some snow fun.

Blizzard!

Fredericton got hit last night and this morning with a good old fashioned blizzard as part of the winter storm that hit across Canada and the northern United States. As reported on CBC:

The thick blanket of snow that covered New Brunswick overnight has left thousands of people waking up to no power.

NB Power is reporting 46 storm-related incidents that are affecting about 7,477 customers. Most of the outages are being felt in the Fredericton area, where there is a transmission outage affecting 5,188 customers.

...

The Fredericton Airport was reporting more than 28 centimetres of snow on the ground early Monday morning. The snow was continuing and Environment Canada projected that another five centimetres could fall before it stopped by late morning.

Environment Canada issued a blizzard warning for the region around New Brunswick's capital. High winds combined with the snow were expected to create whiteouts.

The RCMP in New Brunswick are warning people to stay off the roads Monday morning.

Conor preferred to stay warm and cozy in the house instead of going for a blizzard walk with Dad. Just as well. Conditions on the roads are bad this morning but not bad enough, despite the RCMP warning, to keep some "hosers" from heading out for a coffee at Tim Hortons, eh?

Conor Loves the Snow

I took these pictures of Conor enjoying the snow, literally rolling in the snow, five days ago and forgot about them until tonight. I walked to the Superstore with Conor along the Nashwaaksis trail and the rain picked up. Much of Sunday's snow is now gone. But not to worry, this being Canada Conor will have lots more snow to enjoy before too long. And he will enjoy it all like most Canadian children do.
