Saga of the racoon

The racoon does appear to have left us. The one way door appears to have worked and he/she couldn't get in anywhere else. If ever the animal was going to leave I felt it would be garbage day and sure enough last Friday morning we could see tracks on our roof coming up from where the one way door was located. Thus far no new tracks and will check that out today as we got about 25 centimetres of snow yesterday. We are snowed in more or less although the roads do not look too bad today. The great buildup begins. We have about a metre of standing snow in our back yard now. Still cold here minus 20 degrees celsius this morning. We are promised cold all week and they are generally right about that. Love the winter, it is nice just to hibernate.
