Last night Mrs Frozen in the North and I drove up to the cottage. Now that we are here my guess is that Mrs FitN would have rather stayed in Montreal, you see, despite heavy rain last night there's still lots of snow on the ground here. Yep snow, the white stuff, thermostat is suppose to rise to 15c in Montreal, it is still Zero here (you see the white stuff behind the sail boat!!!)
Anyway, a quiet weekend at the cottage since it is still raining. Our cat (Hoover) is also disappointed, not a fan of the snow (he grew up in Singapore) he was push-out the door twice today to "take care of business" I am confident that he's now fast asleep on our bed.
Despite the weather, the motorway was jam packed last night, we left Montreal at 20:30 and despite this late departure there was much traffic.
Still its nice to see winter at our doorstep, it makes a change from the rainy summer we have had. In fact, the weather has been so bad that we've had a bear invasion near the cottage. Every year there are a number of bears (black bears) that decide to pay a visit to the town of St-Donat to increase their food intake prior to hibernation. But the berry season was terrible this year, and so the bears are thin, hence their arrival into town. Nearly 80 were captured and forty were killed, without the cull more die of starvation during the winter.
Just to add a touch, I am writing this blog while sitting in front of the fireplace, could not be better!
