Snow!

LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!



It's been a while since my last post! We got a huge dump of snow over the weekend, which kept a lot of us Edmontonians in the house! I think we got about 27cm, within 36 hrs! Normally, this amount of snow isn't a big deal... but we've had a freakishly mild winter, and we don't typically get that much so fast!!

That spruce tree across the road, has about 1/2 ft. of snow on the lower part of the branches! I'm surprised it hasn't fallen off yet. Then again, we've had little wind. That car was there for about 4 days, and the guy who owns it had to recruit friends to help get him out! I don't know where hewas while all that snow was falling- probably partying on Whyte Ave... But I would have been shoveling as the snow fell, to keep it from piling up. He had about 1.5ft of snow in front, so he couldn't just drive out!

It is super slick out there right now, though. The walks along the sides of our duplex are icy, b/c the icicles are starting to drop and make ice piles! We've decided not to shovel, salt or maintain the path on our side. The boys downstairs can do it, since they've done nothing all winter to maintain the walks. We decided to keep Vi and Jerry's side clean and we'll go that way to the back! I can't wait til those guys are out of the basement. Their lease isn't up til the end of May :(

This is the view of our house from the sidewalk... Fiona's watching me in the window!
