Flashback!
Our mild spell is continuing, lulling us into a false sense that it may be an easy winter. I might even get out for a ride! But every now and then I think back to the snow of late 2017 and early 2018, two years ago now. It snowed and snowed and snowed. We were buried in the white stuff.
For about 3 days it seemed the snow kept falling, in those big fluffy white flakes that pile up fast.
I had had the preliminary surgery preceding my big operation, so I couldn't help much. Mrs. F.G. bravely put on her Yukon parka and went out to tackle the driveway with our little electric snowblower. It would have taken hours.
We quickly learned what great neighbours we had when one arrived with his big snowblower and had it all cleared in no time. We had only moved in two months before. The snow was about 18" deep, and we realized we'd need to hire a snowblowing service - which we promptly did!
This is today's 'winter' view in comparison!

Our winters are getting milder. NO snowblowing for us, but as I age I do not miss that exercise.
ReplyDeleteThis winter is a non starter for us. ... compared to last winter which was BRUTAL. Ottawa Valley

ReplyDeleteFingers crossed we do not have those heavy snow falls this winter. Well Okay, fingers doubly crossed we do not have those heavy snow falls ever again:))
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference it is. I like the green grass myself.
ReplyDeleteYour winter now looks quite a bit like ours. I actually like getting snow now and again.
ReplyDeleteoooooh i just like the snow so much better but the poor mrs!! we have cleared many a driveway for friends, neighbors and relatives...you would do the same if you could!!
ReplyDeleteyou have a pretty winter view this year!!
Thank goodness for great neighbors. That's some serious snowfall!
ReplyDeleteYikes! I remember having snow like that when I lived in MIchigan. But here yesterday the temperature was so mild you could walk around in short sleeves! Weird weather, but I'm glad you have such great neighbors. :-)
ReplyDeleteSurprised there are no golfers on the course in that balmy weather.
ReplyDeleteSo amazing how the weather just cannot be predicted by the calendar.
ReplyDeletewow that is very deep thick snow, think the last scene is probably way easier to deal with.
ReplyDeleteIt's been warm here too, but getting colder now. The first shot looks like a fine painting.
ReplyDeleteHere we have snow on the ground.
