I blogged yesterday about cancelling our long awaited optometrist appointment in Prince George because of a forecast of snow, which would have made for a dangerous highway. This morning when I looked outside at all the snow on the ground, I was glad that I did. It snowed all day yesterday and overnight, leaving a nine inch (23 cm) blanket of snow on the ground. A long drive to Prince George today, would have been horrible and dangerous.
Last night at square dancing, I learned that Highway 16 had been closed for most of the afternoon because there was an accident with a semi by Goat River that left the freight truck sideways across the highway, blocking it. I don’t know if there were any injuries.
It had been a month or so since I last used my snowblower this winter, but fortunately, it started right up and allowed me to clear my driveway. I was happy to have the snowblower today because this snowfall is a damp, heavy one, not like the light powdery snow we usually get. It would have been a lot of work to shovel it. The snow is still falling day, but now that I have the driveway cleared, it should not present a problem.
