Winter's Back!

Hard to believe that a week ago yesterday we had +26 degrees! Saturday this stuff showed up, apparently it surpassed the old record of 24.5 cm by 5 cms! I was working that night and it was like being back in northern Saskatchewan, we had over 30 accidents reported and had to shut down every road with a hill until the city could get their sanding trucks out. I was able to drive my patrol car only a few blocks from the station before getting stuck and having to jump in with another member who had a 4x4, later in the night we had to switch vehicles again because that one died due to a moisture buildup from all the snow. Last night there was only one car on the road, the rest were all 4x4s!


You can see from the drifts that the car stayed in the garage.


The drifts are up to my knees!


I shovelled out the back walk so the kids could get out to the bus.

When I came home from work on Sunday morning the kids were tunnelling in the snow. You can tell from their rosie cheeks that they had a good time outside. Erinn's missing because she went out to the farm on Friday and had to stay until today because of the poor roads.
