Snow

I have never experienced thunder and lightning in a snow storm, so last night was a first. We lost power a few times and made sure to have candles on each level. The moon was so bright and reflected on the snow so that even without power, we were able to move around and brush our teeth and get ready for bed. I gave up on my car after it got stuck in the driveway and decided to deal with it this morning.

Neighbours and tow trucks and snow plows were on the roads early this morning. Maya dressed in her snow suit and scraped the snow off the car, while I tried to start it and drive out. I was entirely stuck and unable to move the car. Maya's friend Emily's father and brother came by to dig the car out, so that I was able to get to a patient at 11:30. About half my patients showed up for their appointments. Maya spent the day in the snow with Emily. She is absolutely thrilled to have another snow day. the sun came out for a while in the afternoon, and the roads were not too icy in the evening.

Maya, Emily and I went to the movies for the evening. I am on my Oscar movie search. I always see all the Oscar contenders before the Oscar ceremony, and 'The King's Speech ' is up for all sorts of awards. Maya was not too interested in the movie, but joined me because Emily wanted to see it. I was happy to get back safely in my driveway. There may be more snow during the night and another snow day tomorrow, which is makes Maya very very happy.
