After an unseasonably warm Fall I woke up this morning to freezing rain with colder temperatures and some major snowfalls in the forecast. Looks like it might be here to stay.

Mind you, we normally get around 75 centimetres of snow before Christmas. This yer we had one, which quickly melted. It was 16 degrees Celsius on Christmas Eve. The normal high for December 24 is minus five.

So we went for a walk to Mer Bleue, one last visit before the snow fell. People were wearing shorts and having a picnic in the sunshine. Not wanting to intrude I didn’t take any pictures of that.
