We had a steel roof -- a 1985 steel roof, before they figured out they needed to put some kind of barrier at the roof edges and such to keep it from turning into an unpredictable snow/ice slide. Munchkin has been woken up by snow avalanching suddenly and with great speed off the roof directly about her head, the sloped wall of doom! So, I feel you. And daycare didn't reopen a moment too soon. Ha!

Goodness, it's cold and snowy. We haven't had the wind, but I saw shots from out east on the news and it looks pretty wild. And yes, you are right, it's very rude indeed. The weather!

Holy smokes, that must be so cool. Sounds like a place most people would dream to visit, like on vacation or something, LOL. I told my Dh that I intend to visit Nova Scotia in this coming year. I never before considered it, but alas, there are a few cool bloggers out there who have put it on my radar. My research has proven to me that, um, I'd probably drop everything and move up yonder in a heartbeat. You are from Canada, yes? Beautiful place, the one time I visited. Only time I've been was a stop-through in Toronto (another super cool town I'd move to in a heartbeat) on our way NINE hours straight north of there. So far north, I couldn't believe it. Unbelievably cool coal-mining town, population 36 or something like that :). OMG, you live there? Holy smokes, that must be so cool.

'cause his parents are geniuses of feng shui. but i am kinda loving all the snow. i haven't seen a winter like this one since i was in college. we're in PEI, Joanna, but the past two winters (we only moved here in January 2005) haven't seen this much snow all season, let alone in a single month. very good for our New Year's getting in shape intentions, as the shovelling has been pretty regular exercise. of course, Dave's doing most of it... ;) honest to god, the wind woke him up. it’s gusting outside, and there’s, erm, a tree that hits the roof right, oh, above his crib. ’cause his parents are geniuses of feng shui.
