Winter reminded us that it was late December, forcing a sketchy drive from Orillia to Eastern Ontario, though affording some lovely scenery across Highway 7. Extreme cold followed in behind the squalls, making for a very white and chilly Christmas. More visits with friends and family followed, though unfortunately my sister came down with the flu and we had to skip our planned stay there.
The cold persisted but the roads improved in time for the return trip. The Juke was not pleased with a -28 C start to the day, but otherwise we sped westward along the 401 without incident. We spent a few days in the London area enjoying Coxmas and huge bags of gag gifts.....along with a few thrilling adventures in Mansions of Madness.
We headed out for the final leg home, just ahead of another round of squalls off Lake Huron. Other than a thirst for wiper fluid, we again enjoyed bare roads and sunny skies. Ironically the worst roads were closer to home, where snow was minimal but wind and drifting across our main road made for a few dicey moments. We made it home on December 30th to a house full of happy cats, in time to prepare for New Years Eve.
