Weathering the storm

Foul weather today, again.  Rain has washed away most of the snow from my driveway, making it possible and passable.  All other roads clear but extremely wet with water puddling in low spots.
Power outages in some areas caused a ripple effect by shutting down some municipal water systems.
Fallen trees temporarily closed access to the Malahat from Victoria midday.

Weather was probably responsible for the lower than hoped for audience at our concert, however, those who were in attendance claim to have enjoyed it very much.   We finished earlier than usual which meant that people were able to get home before dark.  A large contingent of the choir members proceeded to the White Spot and enjoyed good food and good company and still were able to get home for an early evening.

It is, after all,  the middle of winter !

Musings - this was my first post - but it didn't post !!!
How did I get myself into creating a blog?  Encouragement from a family member who had just done the same thing.  What am I going to write about ?  Many things come to mind, from the snow in the driveway which had me "trapped" for several days,  to the fact that I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time sitting at this keyboard and screen for the sake of both entertainment and research.
One thing leads to another and each link that piques my curiosity takes me into another area of interest and sometimes another part of the world.  Armchair travel.
Testing - 2nd attempt.
