What a BLIZZARD

♫ Oh the weather outside is frightful......but this fire is so delightful.......♫

The Christmas Holidays started out with a good ole Canadian Blizzard! According to news reports this will be the first time since the 70's that there will be a white Christmas from one end of Canada to the other!! We got hit hard...lots of ice, snow and wind. Here are a few pictures of the Blizzard of 08!

This was the beginning of the blizzard around 7 pm!

By midnight...it looked like this!
The next morning, we found out that a lot of people had no power for over 11 hours and we had no phone service. Hubby's work was cancelled and this was around 8am when he tried to snow blow the driveway a bit. You can just barely see the snow blower in this pic.

Here he was trying to dig out our van in case he got called to work. It was a complete white out for a while. The wind was howling and snow mixed with ice pelted down on him as he tried to clean the yard some. I am blessed that I have a Hubby that will take care of things like this for us. It was so cold!

Hubby came to the door looking like Jack Frost...or the abominable Snowman LOL. Hard to believe he and his 3 brothers drove to Quebec later that day to pick up their other brother from the airport to bring him home to NB in time for Christmas! Thank God that they made it safely home and had no mishaps along the way. My other brother in law (my sister's hubby...was stranded in Toronto for 2 days trying to get a flight home for Christmas!)

You know it's a bad storm when your glasses are stuck to your face with ice!!

Ice built up on Hubby's glasses after we had taken some off!

We are so thankful and fortunate that we all survived this blizzard and that God's protection was upon our loved ones as they travelled the highways in this storm. Thank you to everyone who kept Hubby and his brother's in their prayers as they travelled home. They were a pretty tired bunch when we picked them up in Freddy LOL
