45cm of snow.

Now don't get me wrong, I've seen snow before, but that's British snow, you know the kind of snow that doesn't really stick and just ends up melting after half an hour. So no chance to make snow-angels or any of those other snow based activities.

Well now I can truely say I've popped my snow-cherry, upon waking up last thursday morning, I found that nearly 45cm of snow had fallen that night, I've since been told that this is extreme even for Montreal, but all the same it still took me over 40 minutes to walk to work as opposed to my usual 20 (In fairness I was taking my time and couldn't help but be curious as to what would happen if I jumped in some of the deeper parts).

At the moment, I'm loving the snow and I'm well prepared for the forthcoming winter freeze, but I have a feeling my opinion will change somewhat by 2006.

Keeping in contact

I have been attempting to keep in contact with as many of my friends in England, but with a serious lack of internet access at the moment, apart from my work connection I have found it hard to keep in touch.

So it's great to hear from anyone, and I'll reply as soon as I can, and if any of you want to send any pictures of life back in England, they will always be appreciated.

Here is a number I have discovered which amazingly you can ring me on and will only cost 2p a minute, at all times from a landline. Right, the number to ring from England is 08444 621 621, (telediscount.com) when the voice starts to speak then dial 001 514 802 0244, and then hit #. This will put you straight through to me in Montreal. It is a completely legitimate number and it has been tried and tested many times and works perfectly. Hope to hear from you all soon.
