Those poor people have some serious digging out to do.

I suppose it's just a matter of time before we start seeing storms like this here in the continental US.

Canadian winters can be brutal. In our hometown area, near the St. Laurence, 10-12 feet of snow in a winter is normal.

Books, not tv.

And one truly appreciates the summer.

started a drift that often got that tall.

Wonderful snow forts!

except for meals at noon.

Could never live there.


Love me my So. Cal.

My brother and I discovered the joy of jumping out of our 2nd floor bedroom window into the drift. We had to have a tunnel dug to the front door after one storm so dad could get to his squadron. Lots of snow and we had a blast.

It's a lot of snow.

And we've had a few of those, including one in 1995 or 6 that came to the top of our windows and more than halfway up the door. But seldom. And the last bad storm I recall was more wind than snow - it took my entire back and side fences as well as my electricity fr three days. I think that was five or six years ago. Very impressive, yes. And certainly can be dangerous. especially for the unprepared.

weekend we have from 20 inches to 2 feet total. It's still snowing a bit out there. Neighbors have been digging each other out. What fun!

I've never seen anything like this. Wow.

It was common, after a heavy snow, one could walk the drifts up to the roof of our three story home. Sometimes the snow would blow so thick seeing past the front porch was difficult. The best sight was tulip and crocus blooms breaking through the snow.
