一年一度,我们去多伦多度假。正值多伦多大停电,在平安夜,我们来到了郊外的旅馆。已经是午夜时分,四周一片寂静,走下车来,我被眼前的美景所震慑。晶莹剔透的冰枝,在夜色下透射着奇异的光泽,噢,美不胜收,美若仙境。尽管我知道这样说不公平,三十万户人家没有电,黑暗与寒冷,许多人在受难之中,可这是一种超乎寻常的美。我在雪地里站着,女儿陪伴着我,任凭雪花纷扬,飘洒在身上、脸上与手上,这是一个怎样的风花雪夜啊。


老公来催了,儿子也来催了,男人总是比较实际,不过也是一份关心,告诫我们该是睡觉的时间了,告诫我们不要冻成冰棍,心中一暖,牵起女儿的手走进了旅馆。
圣诞节的早晨,临窗就看到了雪的世界。

在旅馆里用了早餐。

然后我们到外面看天然冰雕。







饱饱地享受了冰景之后,就开始听友人谈论冰灾。那天下起了寒雨,那是零下的冬季,那些雨就在树上结成了冰枝,那些树枝不能承受其重,然后一枝一枝地撕裂。那是一个百年不遇的夜晚,聆听着树枝倒地的声音,风声鹤声,整宿整夜,那是一个怎样惊心动魄的夜晚,然后就是三十万户人家的大停电。
好在我们住的地方来电了,走亲访友,吃喝玩乐,又开始了正常的多伦多假期。儿子与女儿非常高兴,室内有电有温暖,室外有雪有玩耍。

我天天在雪国赏雪,惊叹天上纷纷的雪花,惊异地上纯纯的雪白。我好喜欢这样白茫茫的一片,冰凌透明,白雪松软,掩盖了尘土,掩盖了杂质,这是怎样的一个人间仙境啊!
