After the major ice storm that rolled through just after Christmas, another epic system - a possible bomb cyclone - is threatening to turn the next couple of days into a smorgasbord of freezing rain, high winds, and epic snow.
It’s a very Canadian thing to batten down the hatches in advance of heavy weather, so yesterday’s mission was devoted to stocking up on essentials and ensuring we can easily shelter in place for the next few days.
I’ve also been taking the camera out for some neighbourhood walkabouts, because I want to remember not only what all this looks like, but what it feels like. I have vivid memories of winters growing up in Montreal, where snowbanks and drifts reached the roof of our house. I have similarly vivid memories when our kids were little and lake effect storms paralyzed the city, leading to epic snowpeople-building sessions on the front lawn.
In the end, weather isn’t worth complaining about. We can’t change it, so we may as well just suck it up and feel the moment. And when storms repaint the landscape, it feels right to find ways to add another marker on our personal life calendars.
