Yes, it’s November in Fort McMurray and that means that the snow has returned. A couple of days ago we had the first sprinklings of snow that managed to stay on the ground and then last night we received a lovely white blanket thick enough that the grass on the lawn has disappeared and the drive way required the first shoveling of the season.
And of course after reversing out of the driveway this morning to turn and head in the opposite direction, I had that quick little reminder to brake early and allow for the snow as I managed to get the car almost sideways whilst executing the u-turn.
As I left our street to turn onto the more trafficked part of my route to work, I was also quickly reminded of the fact that the nice fluffy white snow quickly turns to icky brown mush when the temperature hovers just over the freezing point and everyone drives all over it.
So it’s really just a matter of looking beyond the dirty brown strip that bisects the pretty picture and pretending that it isn’t there!
