The storm wasn’t nearly as bad as the media would have you believe. We had snow and plenty of it, but the roads have been passable all day. The dogs enjoyed playing around in the yard while we shoveled out this afternoon.
It seems like it’s been a long day today. I’m tired and hitting the hay early. Nothing intelligent to say tonight, or even the usual stuff. Have a good night.

I heard on the news that most of the snow was going to fall on your driveway. The forecasters were correct again.
In my experience we usually have the best trout seasons after high-snow winters. I don’t know if it’s good for mushrooms but I’m prepared to remain a cup-half-full guy on this one.
I wasnt aware of the snow/trout correlation. Heavy snow cover in the spring can give the morel season a nice boost because the more moisture in the soil the more the mushrooms like it. Im not sure the snow would have a direct affect on an mushroom species after the morels though. A couple of weeks of dry hot weather in June can dry out the soil in a hurry. At the very least though I get more enthusiastic about wandering through a lush green forest after enduring a long white winter. Next week I will order some garden seeds and that is a sure sign that spring will actually come.
Toronto escaped the worst of it again. The brunt of the storm was absorbed by Simcoe County and by my driveway where we had a solid 30 cm fall today. Word is that none of the local groundhogs were able to dig their way to daylight so we just dont know if we will have an early spring in 6 weeks or if we will have 6 more weeks of winter.
