One for de road?

October 8th -- We have arrived in Canada!!!. Finally!!! This marks a new chapter in our lives. It's very nice here. It's a little cool, but who needs HOT weather? This is perfect: Not too hot; not too cold.

October 15th -- It is getting a little cooler, but we are adjusting. We bought some sweaters today and went for a short walk. Loving Toronto!!!. This is what life is about!!!

October 30th -- The weather is definitely cooler now. We taped all the windows shut, so cold air cannot creep in. Outside may be cold, but it feels like Port-of-Spain in this house.

November 11th -- The news reports say snow is on the way ... we cannot wait!!! We have never seen snow and it should be pretty exciting to see it for the first time.

November 14th - It started snowing. The first of the season and the first real snow we have ever seen. The wife cooked Pelau and we sat by the window watching soft flakes drift down, clinging to the trees and covering the ground. Could never do anyting like this in TRINI . IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT!!!

November 15th - We woke to a lovely blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape. What a FANTASTIC sight! Every tree and shrub was covered like a beautiful white mantle. I shovelled snow for the first time and loved it. I did both our driveway and the sidewalk. Later, the city snowplough came along and accidentally covered up our driveway with compacted snow from the street. The driver smiled and waved and I waved back and shovelled again, Torontonians are so friendly!!!

November 18th - It snowed an additional twelve inches last night and the temperature has dropped to around four degrees. The cold weather is not so bad. We can take this. Not at all as bad as we imagined. Several limbs on the trees and shrubs have snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shovelled our driveway again. Shortly afterwards the snowplough came by and did his trick again. Much of the snow is brownish grey.

November 19th -- Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush, which soon became ice again. Bought snow tires for both cars. I slipped and fell on my backside in the driveway, paid $130 for the chiropractor, but fortunately, nothing was broken. More snow and ice expected.

November 20th -- Still cold. Sold my wife's car and bought a 4 X 4 in order to get to work.

November 21st -- On my way to work, the 4 X 4 skidded into the guardrail and did considerable damage to the right fender. We had another 15 inches of white sh!t last night. The vehicle have salt and crud all over it. More shovelling in store for me today! De dam snowplough man did he job again. Watch me an' him!

November 22nd -- Yuh believe dis? De first heating bill just come! How de hell it come up to so much???

November 30th -- It's two frigging degrees outside! An' more snow on de way . Every tree in de yard geh damage up. An' to crown it off, de power went out mos ah the night. We try to keep from freezing to death wid candles an' kerosene heater, but de heater tip over an' nearly bun dung de kiss-meh-@#$ house. Ah manage to put out de flames, but end up wid second degree burns on meh hans. Ah nearly bun off meh eyebrow an' eyelash.

Den de car slide on de white crap again! on the way to de hospital, an' we had to write it off.

December 5th -- look at meh crosses. Dis snow ain't plan to stop soon. De ting comin' down and down!!! Ah had to put on all meh clothes dat ah own just to go out to meh mailbox.
