White out and other good stuff

I am amazed at what has brought me back to my blog. The blog that I have ignored for almost 8 weeks. Shame! I would have thought that finishing the novel and sending it off to the publishers might have done the trick. Or our recent visit to Norway to visit Claire and Yngvar and their many pets. Or even the turning of our house into an Italian cafe hosting 16 for the Buzzard (local newspaper)committee's 3rd birthday party. Or my grandson Zach's recent Academic Award as one of the top hundred students in Oklahoma. All of the above are true and memorable events but the thing that has brought me back is the WEATHER! Believe it or not I just had to record the weather. I have never seen this much snow, ever, in all my life. We already had a very cold snowy spell lasting from late December to early February. Then we had maybe a week of bright but cold days, when one could imagine the return of spring. Then Wham! Back came the snow. With a vengeance. It has been snowing constantly for the last 36 hours with no sign of it abaiting. It is so deep in our garden that it comes up to the top of the fence. We are praying we don't get a power cut (many houses in Perthshire are without electricity) as all our heating sources depend on electricity.
Now that I am back blogging, I must try to keep it up. Tonight we are having the first of the Jacobite Day meetings in the Moorfield Hotel. That's if people make it through the snow. Perhaps I shall report on that tomorrow.
