We Took A Drive Yesterday....đź’¨


We decided that yesterday was a good day to visit the cottage...

When we left home, the sun was shining brightly...

As we got closer to the cottage, there was a noticeable difference in the sky!! 

Along the way, the snow cover got less and less, compared to what we have here at home...

In the picture above, you can see the wind picking up the snow in the fields, and making small "haboobs" with the snow...

You can tell that we are getting close, as the wind turbines start to appear...

They built a LOT over the past 2 years down by the cottage...

They don't bother us, as they are not really close to us, but a lot of people say they are very noisy!  

You can see how the sky is getting darker, the further south we go...

The wind really picks up, as we drive by large empty fields...

Making the road visibility somewhat difficult...
 






When we finally reach the Lake,you can see the snow showers across the lake, on the American side. Buffalo NY is South East of our cottage, and we always enjoy watching the snow storms and rain events travelling across the Lake!!


The view from inside was spectacular!!

Hardly any snow...and green grass!! 

The Lake was getting a good workout...for sure!

Sooooo windy...must have been gusting to at least 70km/hr!! 

I made it down to the beach for a quick visit...geesh!!!!

My hair was in a knot! hahaha!!! Thank goodness for hooded coats!!
 


That very dark left hand corner, is where Buffalo is...the storm was headed straight for it!!

There was no snow where we were, but as we were leaving, it began.

 




I always love how peaceful and tidy it is inside...ahhhhhhhh!!

You would never know what was going on outside! hahaha!! 

Upstairs...on the North side of the cottage, there was some frost happening on the inside of the windows...
 

As we travelled home...heading North...the skies were clear and blue!!!

When we reached Lake Ontario, we could see the Toronto skyline in the distance...

Never a dull moment at the Lake...♥️



Hope you are all well....and staying warm!!

It is still VERY windy here...and darn chilly too!!

-8c with a windchill of -18!!! BRRRRRRRR!!

We are expecting a ton of snow starting tomorrow afternoon into Saturday...
