Woke up this morning to the threat of snow. Started off around 24 degrees and the cloud cover was heavy and you could feel the snow coming. It didn't start coming down until about an hour after I got to work but it promptly got very heavy. A good six inches in about 4 hours as the "Alberta Clipper" moved over to us and exploded off the coast into a storm. A lot more snow to the southeast of the city.

It was an uneventful New Year's Eve and I left work a little early so I could get home and shovel out. The kids were at work so I shoveled entire driveway myself and took dog for walk at night fall with temperatures already crashing through the teens. By bedtime, temperature was down around 3 above.

Went to our traditional Chinese restaurant for New Year's Eve dinner and watched movie at home while youngest son went to his friend's house. Just a quiet night and it has been a full year of doing this blog.
