No postal service for two days and we still cannot easily get to the community mail box. Very dangerous for seniors climbing over the ice and snow. Most of what is delivered is only junk mail anyway. Thanks Canada Post and the City of Ottawa.

I sent in my passport application last Friday to Gatineau in Quebec. I had a tracking number and found it had got to its destination on Monday. The next day they said there would be no mail delivery. Or collection?

So I am hoping that the people in the passport office are working hard on my passport
application so that I can get to England this side of Fall. Very Happy

This morning my brother emailed me that the sun was shining and the temperature was 16C. Brothers Mad

you gotta love them.

That was fast delivery to Gatineau. It sometimes takes over a week for us to get a letter from here to Cambridge, Ontario. You must have paid extra for the special delivery with tracking number. Someone just got in touch with me from South Carolina and said their Spring flowers are in bloom. Makes me want to cry.

**Kelejan** 2/14/2019, 5:46 pm

Yes TD, I paid extra, it was worth it to get it out of my sight as I had so much trouble with it.

About the flowers, don't cry, TD, your turn will come as you have proved it with your lovely photos last year. Very Happy

YEE-HAH! I finally get to participate. Here is our front porch after a foot of snow last Tuesday night. This was the most snow they've seen here in 50 years. Knocked out our power for a whole week. We just got it back on this afternoon.

**donnainzone5** 2/20/2019, 11:51 am

Hi, Suz!

As I expected, you finally got some snow.

Meanwhile, here in Bend, we keep getting flurries to a couple of inches. So far, we're in a snow drought.

Ottawa's snow mountain.

Through rain, sleet or snow . . . they just didn't say how long it would take. Very Happy

CN, Your snow is so pretty.

TD, That's one huge pile of snow.

KJ, Thank goodness your passport application arrived before service stopped.

**Kelejan** 2/20/2019, 6:44 pm

I only hope that they are not sitting on the passport applications as I know mine must be at the bottom of the pile. It could be the end of March before I get it. Then I will start worrying as I will not be happy until it is in my hands. Rolling Eyes

**sanderson** 2/22/2019, 5:01 pm

I know what you mean. I didn't feel comfortable until mine was in hand.

Another snow storm in Ottawa this week. The photos were taken from our second floor. One looking in the backyard with the tall pine tree and the other looking out over the roof of our garage.

**Kelejan** 2/28/2020, 7:50 pm

Two lovely black and white pictures except for the brown on the building in the upper picture.

We in British Columbia have had many Winter Wonderland pictures this year when the snow nearly clears then down comes another load.

But I would rather have this than what my brother is going through in England: rain, floods, more rain and more floods. Three different named systems streaming through the country and no relief as they are coming one after another. Luckily he says is on high ground although you would not know it unless you knew how high compared to other places.

Do you get floods when it all meltss, TD?

There was really bad flooding along the Ottawa River last Spring. We are far enough away from the river to avodi the flooding (so far).

Lovely photos. Thank you, TD.

Long time members know I love snow photos. Holy snow Batman! - Page 9 90640

I only get 1/2" of snow every decade or so.

So please make Sanderson happy and post your snow photos.

**trolleydriver** 12/16/2021, 8:33 am

A recent dusting of snow. But there wont be any snow today as we are going to be at 14 degrees Celsius (57 F). The SFG is in the top right corner.

If I never see snow again, I'll be perfectly happy! (Probably because I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for 4 winters.) Very Happy

**donnainzone5** 12/16/2021, 11:55 am

TD, it's great to hear from you! I'd been thinking about you lately. How are you doing?

Thanks for asking. I'm doing well. I just had a follow-up for the prostate cancer. So far so good. In the first week of January I will have chest x-ray and abdominal/pelvic CT scan follow-up for the kidney cancer.

**sanderson** 12/16/2021, 4:22 pm

TD, Thank you for posting the first snow pic of the season. Very Happy

**sanderson** 12/28/2021, 5:56 pm

For those of you that live where winter snow is not a day trip to the snow. I feel for you.

Hey there, TD! So glad you are here! Love the snow, we got some sloppy wet stuff tonight. No real snowfall.

Also great to hear of good health news…been thinking of you!

**sanderson** 12/28/2021, 11:05 pm

On Christmas day we drove up to 7,000 ft to steal some snow! lots o

You can see the naked burned trees in the background from Fall's mega wildfire.

That was so funny for this southerner to read. hahahahaha

I am used to GOING to the snow. Not LIVING with the snow. It was funny.
