First Snow

On the night of the 28th October city was to expect snow, and i got to work a night for a guy at station 13. It started to snow about 6pm and snowed all night, we had a couple of calls in the night and the city looked amazing with the snow starting to cover the ground, and it made it really cold when you got out of the fire engine.
The next morning i got to drive home in the the snow, did I mention i had not got the snow tires on the car yet!!!
The drive home was not as bad as i thought it was going to be, all the roads in Ottawa had been plowed, it the was the roads as i got nearer to home that were fun, with our street not been plowed and only a couple of cars having driven on it. I got home safely and did not hit anything, which was good and also had to organise to get the snow tires onto the car. We had a good time wondering in the snow around the house and even got strange looks from the neighbours.
