Ice Ice baby

strangely enough the weather forecast here in Quebec has been strangely accurate.....Some readers are probably wincing at the use of strangely twice in the same sentence....

I apologize but always keep in mind that my Mother tongue is French....

I can write really (mostly) well in both languages and even in Insurance talk (my work tongue).

But in my day to day life I speak Frenglish...Half French, half English and it seems it is a Montreal thing..

Okay back to the story...So Meteo Media predicted snow last night, check, and freezing rain after continuing this morning and rain later in the day...

I had a dentist appointment at 10:00 am. The dentist is approximately 7 minutes away by foot....

I step on the first step with my boots with ice grips...specially worn for the occasion!

and I just slip and fall ...it is all in slow motion....and when it stops I find I am holding the rail with my arms that has the bad tennis elbow.....ow!

 I get up, I"m thinking I"m going to the dentist! and I proceed to wobble on the sidewalk. It is like ice skating rink but with bumps and dips and it is really hard to navigate....

I walk maybe 60feet and I think the F*** with it, I am going home and rescheduling that appointment...

 Look at those Xmas tree needles!

They look frosted, they are!

Unfortunately my pictures do not do the situation justice.

a lot more freezing rain fell after.

I never thought of taking a picture of my steps, my very icy steps before or after my fall!

Oh well! We can certainly count on the weather to keep us entertained! 

I iced my arm multiple times during the day.

Sleep tight!

Maine: CLOSED

It took FOREVER to reach the resort. In case you live under a rock there's a historic snow storm out there! We got stuck following a salt truck for seemed like hours and then a really slow driver....On I95 we saw some accidents, which makes me wonder, are snow tires mandatory in Maine? Real snow tires, not the all season inferior ones...Let me know

But we did stop at my fave flea in Oxford, for a pit stop and some fast thrifting. With my eagle eye I spotted some interesting items....

We burst laughing when we saw these....Scary Pixies!

They put a whole new spin on cream and sugar...

An adorable village for the tree

I did pick up a NICE piece of Pyrex....but I haven't had time to take a pic.

We wanted to have dinner at the Maine Diner,featured in Diners,Drive-ins and Dives....but it was closed.

We ended up in an asian restaurant EAST. To our surprise it was very tasty and affordable and we got to bring the leftovers home! YUM

ok not a great pic! you can see a bit of the snow falling.

This is our living room in Perkins Cove. Really comfortable! It's all reclinable.

While I was watching tv last night, the network would announce al the school closings....but it's not just schools, it's churches,clinics,vets,town halls,dance classes,karate class, soup kitchens...which made me sad for people who so rely on them.

We had the really bright idea to hit a grocery store in Wells, so we have food and chinese leftovers until tomorrow!

This one is for my Dad, yes we had a cup of brown and a great breakfast at Howard's in Colebrook.

Today we will go for a walk and then phone the Maine Diner to see if they are opened before heading out...other wise it will be ham sandwiches,KD or leftovers.....

Stay warm faithful readers!
