Nor'easter

"Drove Phillip to Moncton today. He starts Block 2 of his cook's apprenticeship program tomorrow. We heard that a nor'easter would hit New Brunswick in the late afternoon but we had a couple of things to do so we grabbed lunch then dropped Phillip's stuff off at my partner's brother's home where he will stay while in Moncton. We headed to Costco and then back to the house for supper, where we spent a pleasant two hours. By this time it had just started to snow. We left at 6:20 and there was already 3 inches of snow on the ground. The wind was terrible. The drive out of town was the hardest part of the whole trip. We were only making about 20km an hour. You could see nothing at all in front of us . The normal 1 1/2 hour drive ended up taking 3 hours.

My first drive in a nor'easter. Now I know what all the fuss is about! When we reached Fredericton, it had not gotten the snow that Moncton had. In the 3 hours it took us to reach home, Moncton had been buried under a foot of snow. Phillip will definitely not be riding his bike to school tomorrow. I will look forward to seeing the snow we have tomorrow morning!" I whisper.
