Snowpocalypse - over

Environment Canada has just lifted the snowsquall warning that's hung over the region like a bad hangover for the past, oh, four days (earlier entries here and here.) Whether you call it Snowmageddon, Snowpalooza or, my personal favorite, Snowpocalypse, we all agree it was quite the adventure while it lasted.

The kids are back at school today, leaving the house strangely and, I admit uncomfortably, quiet. The city is gloriously coated with a thick blanket of snow - and areas barely a half-hour's drive east or west of here are completely clear. It was a neat few days, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Back to work. And life.
