Our doomed trip to Moncton

We were supposed to go to Moncton last Saturday for a day of operating, but it was postponed due to a death in the family of one of the guys we were going to visit.  We were supposed to go today, but this happened…

Needless to say we didn’t go to Moncton!  Amazing what a difference a day makes.  I could see green grass yesterday.  Now this is what I see when I look out my front door…

Going from green to that in one morning is too much!  I hope we get some warmer weather and rain to get rid of this soon.   It’s too early to have snow!

Hopefully we’ll get our Moncton trip in before “winter”!  Official winter at least.

No, I didn’t get to work on the layout today.  We were without power this morning so it was too dark in the basement to do anything.  I cooked breakfast on the camp stove and went out to blow out the driveway and walkways when the weather calmed down around noon.  The snow was so wet and heavy it took a good 2 hours to get it cleaned up.  The power came back on about 3:00 this afternoon.  Then i worked on our outside door that was damaged in some high winds we had last weekend.  Will the chores ever end!

Tomorrow is layout day.  I have to get it cleaned up and ready for operating tomorrow evening.
