Hello and welcome to Books Unbound, the podcast where we unbind books to get to their hearts

with your host, me, Raylene, and me. It's Ariel. Ola! How's it going? It's going pretty good. I'm in the big city.

As I've talked about before on the podcast, my boyfriend and my brother have an apartment in

Halifax, and I come here sometimes, and I haven haven't I hadn't been here in ages.

Oh really?

Just because of like all the Christmas holidays and then everything, it just, I kept not coming

down.

So we just had a big winter storm and the city feels dampened.

Do you know what I mean by that?

Like it's quieter?

Yeah, it feels quiet and like people aren't really out and about because it's kind of hard

because it's so snowy.

This is like a thing that people that don't live in places that get a lot of snow will

know about.

When the city gets hit with like a lot of snow, snow plows will come by,

but it becomes really difficult because the snow like can get pushed over, but then it's just

on the sidewalks or on the curve. Or blocking cars in. Blocking cars in. Yeah, exactly. It's like kind of a nightmare.

So anyways, it'll probably melt in a few days. You guys didn't need a weather report, but you do have it now. So there you go. It's fine. We had a lot of snow earlier to like last week or the week before. Yeah. Both of those weeks. There was a lot of snow. I actually couldn't make it to work two days in one week because it was just so snowy. And the snow plows didn't come down my street. So there was just no way that I was going to get anywhere. Especially because I live at the top of a hill. Heyo. Oh, God. Is it icy? Have you found that it's icy? It was a little bit icy. Yeah. I went for a walk the other day on my lunch break,

and I almost fell because the sidewalk was covered in ice. I saw a girl almost completely

wipe out outside of a McDonald's. She did the kind of comical, like... I was outside of a McDonald's,

too. No. It's a conspiracy. McDonald's isn isn't they're not salting their

parking lots that's hilarious were you getting coffee
