Snow, snow, and more snow!

After a relatively warm day and plenty of glorious sunshine for driving yesterday, we were shocked to wake up to all of this snow this morning.  Last night, after 12 hours of driving, we stopped in White River, Ontario (the birthplace of Winnie the Pooh!) to get a good night's sleep before heading out for what was supposed to be an 8-hour trip today.  The picture does not capture the true state of the weather.  After loading the van in the bitter, blowing conditions we drove 2 minutes to the gas station where we filled up the van and bought some breakfast.  At the Esso station we were told that the police have closed all roads in and out of White River.  We finished our "8-hour driving day" in 2 more minutes back to the hotel.  We checked back into our room and are sitting here wondering how long we will have the privilege of staying in Winnie the Pooh's home town!  Supposedly there is a Winnie the Pooh Museum across the street but it was too dark to see it last night and now there is too much snow!  

We'll post an update whenever anything changes.  Thank you for praying!
