On Boxing Day we headed out to the cabin. We let Steve get out of the car first to go inside and get the oil stove going. When we did finally get out of the car, the snow was knee deep and the cabin was still -15 degC inside! The boys were crying because of the cold so we sat in front of the oil stove with my Canada Goose jacket on top of us. We talked Steve into lighting the wood stove for us as well to get the cabin warmer quicker and then he went back outside to shovel more snow.
We watched the temperature guage slowly creep up towards zero degrees, funny how goals and expectations change, all I wanted was for the cabin to get to a positive temperature. It took at least two hours to warm up and we even put our propane stove on to warm up the other end of the cabin!

On Tuesday Steve and I tested out our snow shoes, they are awesome. You can walk in deep snow, sinking far enough to give you a good workout. A nice solid track is laid as you walk so Cooper and Ryder had fun following me on our adventure into the woods.

By Tuesday afternoon heavy snowfall was setting in and we were worried we wouldn't be able to get out. At about 3 o'clock we headed back to Lab City as a snow storm hit, we took the drive very slowly as visibilty was extremely poor all the way home. A relaxing time again at the cabin.
