[Magdalen] Weather Yo-Yo.

[Marion Thompson]

I\m supposed to drive the 401 to Oshawa later on to do the Food Bank, 
normally half an hour at high speed, but I'm not sure if this will make 
sense later given the forecast and knowing what happens on the 401.
I shovelled my parking area and frontage onto the lane and cleaned the 
ice from last night off the car windows.  Yep, heavy and wet all right 
and plenty of it.  The city has not yet been to plow its ('my') lane, 
but, no matter, my Subaru made child's play of the hill up out of my 
hollow.   Dental hygiene trumps snow, and I needed to get a new Water 
Pic.  I get serious cabin fever if I _know_ I'm trapped, which is not 
the same as staying in by choice.

Thank God I've got a guy with a snowblower because I couldn't possibly shift this stuff.  It's supposed to get milder, which is good, because if this froze, it would be a right mess.
