Snow Squalls Woebegone

 Peter and I paddled near this island in October. I believe it is called Thistle Island, near Heron Is. which we did paddle around:

This island is only 3Km away from me. And yet in a matter of minutes it could vanish from sight when it was obscured by a snow squall. And 12Km further north at Washago Highway #11 was closed yesterday and as of this writing was still closed.

The next article was written a little later:

Now that island shown above is not visible today at all as the snow continues to reach our more southerly position, Don't you appreciate generosity!

Snow squall heading toward Orillia; Highway 11 remains shut down 130cm!

And yet I still like "Come from away".

The power went off in Bracebridge while Vicki was talking to her sister. And it was off here for several hours, too.

We have food and water to last us . We actually have food for the food bank as well.
