Finally the snow that everyone’s been waiting for is here. It was absolutely lovely this morning stepping out into the snowy air and seeing a fresh blanket of cool fluffy whiteness over everything. Feeling the snow falling on my face, it was like being in a snowglobe. Here is a pic of trees at the foot of Mont-Royal and a pic of the monument. The snow was wet and heavy, perfect for packing snowballs! Not as many kids tobogganing off the side of the mountain as I would expect but perhaps they were higher up on Beaver Lake or else out Boxing Day shopping. Even though we didn’t get snow for Christmas day, it’s not too late to go out and enjoy it for those who have the week off. Season’s greetings and best wishes to all for a spectacular metroblogging-worthy 2007!
