February - Finally Winter Weather


With the start of February the weather changed from mild to wintry.
Storm clouds rolled in, icy wind blew from the northwest.

The flattened grass shows how high up the surf washed during
the worst of the storm.
And again, the waves eroded more and more of the shoreline.
Roots washed out and trees downed.
One weather front after the other moved in 
and we got our fair share of snow.
Luckily, after 19 years in Canada, we finally had decided
 to splurged on a snow blower. 
At our age shovelling snow isn't fun any more.
The snow changed the drab and brown landscape back 
 into a winter wonder land.
Taking photos of all the beauty.
The sand shows where the high how far up the tide reached 
during the night.

The days are markedly longer now
and in the evenings, on our walks
around the neighbourhood,
we enjoy the different sunsets.
Always so beautiful.

Mit dem Februar kam das kalte Winterwetter. Ein Sturmtief nach dem anderen zogen mit Starkwind und Schneefall durch unsere Gegend.
Entlang der Küste sah man überall die Zerstörung. Bäume entwurzelt und
ganze Hänge abgetragen. Die Sturmwellen wuschen auch  bis weit auf die Dünengrasflächen hinauf.
Nach langen grauen Tagen schien die Sonne dann auf ein Märchen aus Blau und Weiß.
Davon mußten erst einmal wieder Photos gemacht werden!
Die Tage sind auch merklich länger geworden und auf unserem allabendlichen
Spaziergang durch die nächste Nachbarschaft kann man jeden 
Tag einen anderen Sonnenuntergang bewundert.

  1. A wise move for the Snowblower.
    I agree that everything being white is more picturesque then the browns and greys.
    Be Safe and Enjoy the coming spring.

    It's about time.
