Our little 8 inches we had a few years ago sure doesn`t compare with Wendy`s !!  Get out the ski`s and snow shoes !!

I have memories of a “perfect” snowstorm that occurred when I was 10 years old. And I will share this picture of it that was taken about 20 miles from where I lived at the time and which I uploaded from a “MyFamily-Braxton” web site. 

I saved it because it was taken from in front of the house that was “next-door” to the left of the house that I currently own/live in. Thus the car  in the center of the picture was parked on the street directly in front of my now current residence.

I will not complain about our 8 inches again !!  Are you sure there is a car under that ??

Cogar, my only response to that sight was 'Holy s***!' 


I'm fast coming to the conclusion that I want to move. Much as I love my Maritimes, I'm really too old for more of the s-word. Just did another stint outside clearing half of what the plow pushed in the driveway (ignoring what's in the rest). Round two coming soon.

Sometimes I think Santa Fe sounds nice . I haven't heard a storm there in a long time, lol. We only got about 4 to 6 inches of snow, but still a pain in the you know what! My car doors were frozen shut as I was cursing and had to be somewhere. And I swear my car blocks my husband's so he doesn't get it as badly as I do, lol. Isn't everything his fault, lol?

Yesterday was short sleeve weather and today its 47 and I  have been cold all day !! We are already getting garden ready to plant and grass is beginning to grow !! But in Texas sometimes Feb. And March are our surprise months !!

Down our south shore, where the storm surge is still affecting them...........

It's bad enough when your car gets buried in the snow, but add the invading ocean and it would likely be enough to make you walk away from it all

Oh, wow that's down right nasty!!

[mart]

Not fun !!  At least we can get a cardboard box and slide down the hill without drowning !!

Oh man! Just saw the newest updates. We still have another 10-12 hours to go here, but much longer for our north shore. You saw my pic from the south shore, the damage will be worse up north. The shore is already ice packed which means that when the surges hit there the ice will come inland as well. It's an area that suffers damage every year, but this could be devastating.

Saying a prayer for all of you  !!

Friggin snow is still coming down but at least tapering off. I wish the winds would die down. Managed to unbury the three vehicles and they're out on the road. Plow coming for us sometime today as there's no way in you know what that I'm going to get that driveway shoveled, it's knee to waist deep except where I lined the vehicles up in the worst drifting section. We've been luckier than other parts of the province though so have to be thankful for that. Didn't even have to light a lamp..........and I'm still well stocked for the next one.

You could start building igloos soon!
