Coffee Night in Barrie

Took these photos a few nights ago when I was out for a coffee in Barrie. Was kind of pretty but frigidly cold! I liked the flower the barista made on my latte too.

Snow Weekend in Barrie

I don't know where we have room for more snow in Barrie this weekend. But we are getting more anyway. On the side of all the road the snowbanks are piled too high for cars to see over top when turning a corner, makes for dangerous driving. A car nearly cut it too close and nearly creamed the taxi as I was getting home last night. At this rate cars are going to all need their headlights on the roof so we can see each other over the snow.

Barrie is Misspelled

It should be bury. More snow today. If it would just go away for awhile I'd have some time to miss it.

One of the interesting things about living in a house with a tin/ metal roof versus the usual tar variation are the mini avalanches. When you least suspect it a train seems to slide right off the roof. It is very loud from inside, I wonder if it is that loud from outside. No doubt police will be called if the whole train crashes all at once. I hope all the chimney type things and the satellite can survive the avalanches all winter up there. It's kind of fun now that I know what it is. First time I thought a dump truck must have plowed into our house. I went and looked out all the windows just to be sure. That's when I noticed all the snow and ice recently fallen in a huge pack load. I may not be brilliant but I can figure things out, eventually.
