Enough already

So it snowed again yesterday. We hunkered down in the house all day. Penny made a lovely roasted red pepper and garlic soup and we made a shrimp jambalaya for dinner. All very nice.

This morning we got up to find the plows had been by and the whole neighbourhood was buried. How buried and how much shovelling needed doing was a function of two key variables: wind direction and neighbours with snowblowers. We always get killed by the wind, but we have some super neighbours. Our driveway was cleared before we even got going.

The wind made some lovely sculptures and interesting snow depths. Some people had almost no snow in the driveway, but then a drift would form elsewhere. That is our BBQ under there somewhere.

The back yard got fairly full, but the side yard got completely buried.

This is the overhang outside the kitchen door.

Now, lest some readers in southern climes get the feeling that we are having problems with all this white stuff in the Great White North, with March Break just starting, we have a great opportunity to go cross-country skiing with all the munchkins in the next couple of days. And Penny & I walked to the grocery store today in the gorgeous sunshine (about 8 km [or 5 miles for those in the one country that does not use metric measures]).

But enough joy already. Maybe it is nearly time for Spring.
