No, we’re not in Summerside yet, but we consider it a mini-victory to have left Dauphin at all after the massive snow storm that canceled our flight out of town.
Mere hours after I wrote the “we’re outta here” post, the snow and wind were just too much for the little prop plane we take to Winnipeg. So, a last minute phone call and our journey ended as it began – at the Dauphin Super 8! I suppose there’s a nice symmetry in that, so I’ll forgive the forces that seemed to be working against our departure.
Fast forward 12 hours, and we find ourselves on the phone with Perimeter airport, wondering whether the morning flight has also been canceled. They say they don’t know yet, and will make the decision once the plane gets to Brandon as to whether it can make it the rest of the way. So to be safe, we head to the airport and wait, not knowing whether the plane will arrive.
Fortunately, the weather is good enough to risk it, so we do, and shortly we’re in Winnipeg! You can see a short annotated photo collection of moving day(s) here: http://picasaweb.google.com/sarahrainsberger/Moving#
