Snow




Yep, we have snow. This is Alberta after all. Just thought I'd show you the results of a "blizzard" that came through town. The newscasters called it a blizzard, but it wasn't like I'd read about in books. It was really windy, though, which caused the big snow drifts in these pictures. It wasn't all that exciting for us, actually, because when we lived at the edge of Sumas Prairie in Abbotsford, we commonly got snow drifts at least six feet high. This was about the same, but a bit colder. Calvin had fun though - he's standing on top of a big pile of snow, a combination of a snow drift and the snow we've been tossing off our driveway all winter. He and Connor dug it out and reinforced it with boards, so now they have a very roomy snow fort.

Sounds like Northport. We have measured over 6 feet that have fallen, though we only have 3 or so on the ground. The piles from the snow plows are over my head - so our boys made a great snow fort, too. And then they practice snowboarding down the hills. I heard you made it this way - sorry we couldn't visit. We'll be over that way in July. Maybe we can see you then. :D
