Heavy snowfall warning this time

" Heavy snowfall warning for
Wawa - Pukaskwa park continued" - - - Environment Canada (ec)

at least i'm not bored. for last weekend, ec gave me a gift of "extreme cold warning," and now, of "heavy snowfall warning." so this is the way northern ontarians live in winter, eh?

ec forecasted that 15 to 30 centimetres of snow will fall tonight and into tuesday.

almost everything i experience here in wawa is fresh, brand new. i'm not sarcastic or dismissive here at all. rather, i'm truly astounded by the sheer amount of precipitation, i.e., snow, and sheer level of cold.

maybe my wife isn't happy to hear what i'm saying, but honestly, i like here. i like this town - landscape, scenery, size, atmosphere, and so forth. well, it'll be even better if the size, population i mean, is a bit bigger, say some 10,000 to 30,000. but, on second thought, some 3,000 is just okay, i guess.

if it was not winter, it must have been much easier for me to get familiar with this new town and all, but mainly because of this intimidating force of nature, i didn't have enough time to look around and to be familiar with surrounding areas.

it'll take a bit more time, but sooner than later, i'll be able to settle down quite well, i'm certain. (*)
