What Canadians Do in the Winter

They clear snow, that is what!  They either shovel, buy a snowblower, of if they are like me, they hire a snow removal service (in our case out of necessity).  I have frequently heard the noise of the snowblowers outside this weekend!

Our neighbours have had to break out the snowblowers each day the past three days!

Working together they can get a neat and complete snow removal job done in spite of it being about 16 inches deep.

And sometimes they will stop and take time for a chat with the work partly complete.  It has been a snowy weekend to remember!

    Hope the snow is stopped for the rest of the weekend!

    Wonderful pictures! You make a snowstorm seem like a delightful community event! :-)

    Yes it is a part time job! So glad you have someone that does it for you.

    I've shovelled three times this far, but thankfully never more than 2-4 inches at a time. If we had 16 inches at once I think I'd hibernate for the rest of winter!
    Hope there isn't more in the forecast for you for a few weeks.

    Yes, it's work living where it snows, but so pretty.

    It sometimes becomes a neighbourhood bonding experience.

    The driveways look very icy and so skiddy!!! Snow blowers a real necessity.

    Call me an oddball if you wish, but I'd much rather shovel snow than mow grass. Tomorrow morning the lawnmower goes away 'til spring and the snowblower takes its place just inside the garage door.

    Checking the live radar map tonight I couldn't find a single snowflake from Indiana to Churchill Manitoba or from Vancouver to Halifax. However I did see some rain in the Vancouver area and rain up around St. John Newfoundland. Crazy huh. We missed the majority of the snow you got.

    If we would ever move back to Manitoba the first things we'd get would be a snowblower and a generator.

    That was a storm! We were spared. I love the snow fall.

    Canadians always impress me. They are a hardy and friendly people and we need more of their genes in the world.

    All the best Jan
