I was a bit slow in posting this today, so people in the Eastern Hemisphere will only read this on Monday.

There was a tiny bit of snow overnight and I thought the sun was going to come out today (see pic left), but the clouds are too thick again. The snow has melted off the roofs and the temperature remains at 0ºC. The wind's shifted to blowing from the east today, and it looks like another grey day. The Canadians apparently don't like this "in between" weather, preferring either below zero with lots of snow or sunny and snow to this rainy damp weather we're having now. I'm inclined to agree. When there's lots of snow about and the sun shines, it really is a pleasant sight. The snow so white, and the sky a bright blue. Yes, it's blerry cold, but with the right clothing, being outside (although briefly) is bearable. We'll see what this my last week in Canada brings.

When the boys parents came back from Collingwood this morning we drove to London to visit Masonville Mall, just to get out and walk around for some exercise and a Tim Horton's coffee and donuts. As we arrived back home at about 4:30 pm it began to snow. Maybe this is the snow they're predicting.
