I was de-icing the car this afternoon when out of the corner of my eye I caught a bit of movement – it was this branch falling from our neighbour’s tree onto the street. There is at least one other large branch down on our street, and a serious amount of down in the GTA.
Georgie the pup and Memphis check out the back yard after the ice storm.
Nasty morning. Freezing rain still coming down. Everything is covered with ice. We have power but thousands in the city do not, may not get it back for a couple days. There’s a power line down a couple streets over. I tweeted the location out to the folks at Toronto Hydro, although the residents who live right there may have already called it in.
We took the dogs for a good long walk. George, the new pup, is doing quite well for a dog with no leash experience. It’s quite slippery to walk and I won’t be driving anywhere for a few hours. It’s supposed to warm up, which will help things out quite a bit.
Tuffy P is doing some morning baking, and the house smells wonderful. Her awesome peanut butter bombs just came out of the oven. In the interest of science, I tested a couple, and they are wonderful.
Sunday morning in an ice storm…let’s start things off on the right foot with a Canadian Old Time polka….Here’s Frankie Rodgers performing the Prairie Polka.
