As a radio person....

...I am supposed to DREAD snowdays. Most announcers & newsies do. And with good reason. All the creativity is sapped from your show. There is no casual conversation, no originality, no personality. You are reduced to a frazzled, phone-answering, note-taking, weather-reporting, cancellation-reading mess. People don't understand that it would be so much quicker for them to contact the 8 other members of the Bognor Ladies Bi-Weekly Bingo League (for example) than for us to announce it over the air with 800 other cancellations. But it's a rush. And the day goes by fast. So I try to look on the bright side.

Anyways, the snow has FINALLY arrived in Owen Sound. We've had it for just less than a week now and I love it.



I accidentally took this photo in black & white. And through a screen. I don't get outside much to actually enjoy the snow, what with being cooped up in a studio all day. Otherwise I would have posted a much lovelier landcsape-type photo...anyways....

We are expecting up to 45 centimetres of snow in the next 3 days.
