Clear Now...Storm On The Way

This morning's photo:

Yesterday wasn't a very nice day here.It was cold with a windchill of approxiamately -20°.The snow from Sunday is mostly frozen solid here and,what isn't,has been blown around by the wind.The wind has been quite strong since Sunday night.The roads are OK in most areas except for in the open areas where they are subjected to the blowing snow.

Some areas got more snow than we did and all schools were closed province-wide yesterday.Usually closings are district based and do not include the whole province except for in extreme circumstances.

Today looks like it will be fine and seasonable.There's another mess on the way for tomorrow but temperatures will be warmer.
