We have arrived in Canada!!!. Finally!!
This marks a new chapter in our lives.
It's very nice here. It's a little cool,
but who needs HOT weather?
This is perfect: Not too hot; not too cold.
October 15th
It is getting a little cooler, but we are adjusting.
bought some sweaters today and went for
a short walk. Loving Toronto!!!. This is what life is about!!!
October 30th
The weather is definitely cooler now. We taped all the windows shut,
so cold air cannot creep in. Outside may be cold, but it feels like
Port-of-Spain in this house.

The news reports say snow is on the way ... we cannot wait!!!
We have never seen snow and it should be pretty
exciting to see it for the first time.
November 14th
It started snowing. The first of the season
and the first real snow we have ever seen.

The wife cooked Pelau and we sat by the
window watching soft flakes drift down,
clinging to the trees and covering the ground.
Could never do anything like this in Trinidad ...
IT AS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT!!!
November 15th
We woke to a lovely blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape.
What a FANTASTIC sight! Every tree and shrub was covered like a
beautiful white mantle. I shovelled snow for the first time and loved it.

I
did both our driveway and the
sidewalk. Later, the city
snowplough
came along and accidentally covered up our driveway with compacted snow from the street. The driver smiled and waved and I waved back
and shovelled again...Torontonians are so friendly!!!

November 18th
It snowed an additional twelve inches last night and the temperature has dropped to around four degrees. The cold weather is not so bad. We can take this. Not at all as bad as we imagined. several limbs on the trees and shrubs have snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shovelled our driveway again. Shortly afterwards the snowplough came by and did his trick again. Much of the snow is brownish grey.
November 19th
Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush, which soon
became ice again. Bought snow tires for both cars. I slipped and fell on my backside in the driveway, paid $130 for the chiropractor, but fortunately, nothing was broken.
More snow and ice expected.
November 20th
Still cold. Sold my wife's car and bought a 4 X 4 in order to get to work.
November 21st
On my way to work, the 4 X 4 skidded into the guardrail and did
considerable damage to the right fender.
