Well now despite the dangers of this weather, like over 150,000 residents in this province without hydro, the slippery roads in areas, the flooded streets in others and the dangers of walking on ice, slush, snow covered ice…it really is beautiful. Hydro went out a few times for a few seconds, but I went to the store (hence the photos I took in the rain) and bought extra D batteries for my flashlight and extra large candle and all is set up in the dining room…just in case. It is when you are prepared these hiccups are least to happen, right?
The photo below is right in front of my apartment building. I kept hearing cracks, thuds, and bams and gazillions flops at once…snow falling from the branches and ice as well for the freezing rain turned to rain.
I still do not have the best waterproof boots…well, yes, they are but not 10 cm high, so I put on plastic bags before putting on my winter waterproof boots and came back home with nice dry feet. I shall keep this up until the Sorel Boots go on sale.

When I was a kid, being prepared for the power going out just made it go out more, then again, we certainly loved moving around by candle light. (*grins*)

Aye, though no one lets me light and carry candles anymore, but it is fun to watch how careful my niece and nephews are about it! (*laughs*)

We used to make sure we knew where all the candles were at all times, and we knew where lighters were and the gas kettle 🙂 At least we could still have a cup of coffee 😉 Great Haibun
