The day after the storm

It is still chilly out there. I ventured out to work yesterday. 

My husband promised to drop me off at the subway station. But, at the turn to the road from our place, one car got stuck in the snow. There was not enough room to pass it. So, I ended up walking to the station.

The sidewalk was messy. I walked along the side of the road. 

  

That car looks abandoned from yesterday. There was no actual sidewalk, as you can see.


That bus was still there when I was coming back. 

The subway was fine. But, in downtown, where I was supposed to get a streetcar, I waited for an hour in the cold. Only to be notified that the streetcar is not coming that way.

I got a cab and reached the office. Thank god, I left home very early! I was there before the first patient. 

It was amazing that we didn't get any cancellations! 

The return trip was not bad. Subway and streetcars were running on time. 

 My daughter came to the subway station to walk me home. Walking with her was fun. We both were enjoying the white surroundings. 

The snow-covered trees,  half-cleared sidewalks and the fences... everything was pretty with the snowy backdrop and the street lights. 





That last photo is my favourite!

  1. I remember when I worked in retail the big snows always seemed to come on the days I had to be there to open. No fun!

  2. Kudos to you for persevering and going to work. I have no doubt your patients were very appreciative. This recent weather has been a challenge for all of us.

  4. It’s -20 this morning, so it is more than chilly here, but you’re in the banana belt. 😎

  5. I always say the snow is the prettiest when I don't have to drive in it! Glad you got safely to work & home. So much snow in a short period of time kept most the ploughs from keeping roads open.

  6. So glad that I am retired and no longer have to worry about getting to work in such bad weather. Glad you made it safely there and home, Bindu.

  7. It's amazing how snow can transform a landscape. I can't believe no one cancelled their appointments! I like that last photo too. :)

  9. Oh my goodness! That is a lot of snow. My daughter in Illinois and son in Maryland both said they got a lot of snow this winter too.
