Saturday night it was chilly with a brisk wind. As midnight passed, we lashed a tarp over the top of the flat roof in the back, the roof that had been leaking all summer. By three in the morning the first flakes were beginning to fall on my snowless front lawn. Twenty-four hours later we had two feet of the white stuff covering the tarp, the lawn, and the entire city of Moncton. Winter, literally, arrived overnight this year. Photos in this article were taken at the CBC building half a block from my house. More coverage.
