It actually bigger than it looks. I pay for what they call a 1 1/2 driveway. We park 3 cars and can get out without moving another vehicle. I have a contract for the winter, $325.00. He lets us out in the morning and comes back to clean it up. Up until a month ago I hardly saw him. It's a big outfit. My guy, who just works for someone else lives just 3 houses down the street and keeps the machine there. It's a good setup, although we were one of the last ones blown out.

Being the last to get blown out has its' perks.

A week after storm the clean up continues.

+4°C and rain. April weather with an added amount of depression

At least they got the right blower for the job. You can't beat a big rotary blower for moving snow.

Those photos were taken in the western part of the province where we used to live. We were there yesterday for a wedding if you can believe that. At the reception I talked to a guy who had just spent 25 straight hours in one of those things for a private contractor. He seemed a little hyper.

Despite the constant work there are still a lot of secondary roads like those in pics that are still one lane tracks.

Have I ever told you how much I hate winter?

Depends how you define the term 'Bug'

No difference between that and our black flies except the colour. They take a big chunk out of me and I swell up. Trouble is that when I swell up I also get dopier than I already am. It only lasts for a day or so, but I can't afford that.

I love winter too and i'm getting lots of love this year!

Winter sure is pounding you guys hard this year.
We've had almost all of January and most of February in the deep freeze, with no January thaw. I had to scrape the 2' of snow off the roof today, the first time in the 21 years I have owned this place.

That is a splendid red color on the house. My front door is bright red for good feng shui! Helps with the earthquakes when the epicenter is two hundred yards to your NW

Sometimes I control the energy in 'my space'....some times the energy controls my space

Bottom line: my shack is still standing!

If I ever see that amount of snow on my property I'll seriously consider moving to a warmer climate
