This winter marks our sixth here in the South Shore and it is proving to be the coldest and possibly the snowiest. Generally, we have found our past winters in this little corner of Nova Scotia to be much milder than those experienced in Southern Ontario, but this one is getting up there. By comparison to last year, I think it was late February to early March before the snowblower first saw the light of day ~ that’s OK, I am not complaining it could be worse ~ I could be back in Southern Ontario …..
Below are some pics taken today after yesterday’s snow clear up. The first lot are taken just down the road at the frozen LaHave River. As a comparison, I have included two photos taken at the same view point during October 2019 from the blog ~ “At end of our road this morning ..." ~

Did you know, the LaHave used to freeze consistently during the winter. When we lived in Riverport, our elderly neighbour, who grew up in the same house she was living in at that time, said the river (and the cove) used to freeze every winter and people would drive their cars up to Bridgewater. Now the river freezes and it's a surprise!
ReplyDeleteLovely pics as always.
I had no idea about that.
ReplyDeleteThankfully, it no longer gets that cold or a might be back in Scotland ....
