Okay, so this really should have been posted yesterday, but owing to the time I had already spent writing, I thought I’d just write it today.

So we got a sort of a storm here these past two days. Today was snow but yesterday was freezing rain, quite a lot of it too. The roads were bad and I guess the drivers don’t really realize it (maybe not enough snow here…) but they still drive just as recklessly. There were quite a lot of accidents in Ontario (mostly the GTA). Anyways, both buses I took yesterday managed to miss their connections so I was left to walk about 20 minutes through the freezing rain. That was just horrible. And today, I had to walk to the Connestoga Mall to catch the bus since I missed the one that takes me from work to the mall. That was another 20 minutes of pure hell. It was windy and cold and snowy.

Now, on Monday, as I was walking to the bus stop from res, I saw one of the most beautiful sunrises I had ever seen. At that point I was too far to go back and get my camera, but I told myself that I’d bring it with me from then on to catch moments like that. Well, this morning I’m glad I brought my camera. I managed to snap a few shots of a fresh snowfall here at UWaterloo. Enjoy.

Makes the place look even more dull doesn’t it? :P

    Swear to God I can’t even imagine that’s what it’s like there now.

    Torrential downpour here for the next 3 days… it helps the palm trees grow.

    Should I mention that PEI hasn’t had a winter this year? All we’ve had is rain, and when it does snow the rain washes it away a few days later.
