At suppertime yesterday, the guys demolishing the house over at #2 took out some power lines with a pop, knocking out power for at least the lower portion of 27th Street. The Hydro folks came out for a look very quickly, followed by a repair truck, and they had the power back on again in a couple hours.

Before the power came back on, persistent fluffy snowflakes started lofting down. We didn’t get a lot of snow, just enough to say, there, it’s April and everything is covered with a fresh coat of the white stuff. Just a couple hours earlier, Tuffy P was out in the front garden working on some spring garden clean-up. Spring will come…but not yet.
