of their bodies had melted and then it had frozen again so I was about half an hour scrubbing them off dry. After break fast which we had about ten o'clock I got ready and went down to Aunty's getting there about noon. The gas down there was poor but the house was fairly comfortable. Mr. Millman was still in bed but Mrs. Millman had just got up and had dinner with us. They nearly froze in the night and Mr. Millman got up and wrapped Aunty Alice's sweater around his head. After dinner I went up to see Marj. but came back to Aunty's to tea. Huby was there and decided he'd stay to tea as he didn't think he would get any thing to eat at home on account of the poor fires. I didn't see any body that was at church this morning but I went up to-night but found there was no church so went over and spent the evening at the Moore's. I stayed all night at Aunty's so I would be able to shovel their snow in the morning. It moderated considerably by night.

Monday January 14th

I got up fairly early this morning and shovelled Aunty's snow and then had my break fast down there so got home about half past eight, but Dick was finished milking. We spent most of the morning shovelling through various snow drifts and Dad shovelled it out of the wood shed. We had quite a job shovelling the lane out but got it done by noon. This after noon Frank went down to the mill with some grist and Tom was in for awhile on his way after cream. I cleaned out the calf pen and Dad split up some wood. To-night Frank and I went down to see "Frecles" at the picture show but the films are storm bound some place so they put on the Saturday night show which was very poor. Mr. Millman went to Simcoe to-day as the radial got running by one o'clock but there hasn't been a G.T.R. Train moving in or out of here all day so he came back to Dover tonight and he & Mrs. Millman will go by electric car to Brantford tomorrow and get through to Toronto from there. We were sure there would be no classes today so didn't go down. Neff couldn't get down till this after noon from Simcoe and none of the boys could get in from far out in the country. They said Lloyd Ryerse was up here to dinner yester day so he was visiting the neighbors to see how they survived the storm and he told them that that Harry Dyer and old Mr. Mead nearly perished in the storm Saturday night. They had been out working at the inside of Farr's new house and he was driving them in at night but after his horse
