Winnipeg in November

It was inevitable. This is Winnipeg in November and as such we knew that snow could be imminent. Yesterday started with rain and wind. The afternoon brought colder temperatures and that turned the rain into sleet or snow pellets This morning we awoke to find 2 centimeters of snow!!!

Yesterday's work included shutting off the power to the house and relocating the hydro meter to a new temporary location. The image below shows four posts that will eventually turn into the pergola from a previous post.

While the dusting of snow has hidden the ugly mud it does make things more difficult to work on site. The negative temperatures aren't ideal working conditions but the house must be built. Hopefully this is a hic-cup and not a large delay.
