It muffles sounds, but there are new sounds too, the creaking of laden branches and the shifting of ice on the water.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-67401471608853463212008-01-07T12:04:00.000+00:002008-01-07T12:04:00.000+00:00Back when I lived in Calgary I had a place out in ...Back when I lived in Calgary I had a place out in the country and would get snowed in a couple times a year (not as much as you might think, but that's because it takes a *whole* lot of snow to snow in a Canadian).

The children were thrilled. <BR/>"Oh, can you do that again Mum?" asked my son.<BR/>Then there was the time we were sliding carefully down the hill towards Shotesham, with me praying another vehicle wouldn't come towards us.
