Snow, Snow, Snow… And More Snow

By Zhu • December 3, 2007 • Print This Blahblah

Don’t get me wrong, I love Canada. Like, we get wonderful sunsets: I took these a couple of days ago:

We already had a big snow storm a couple of weeks ago. And now, this morning, I woke up to that:

Yeah… Fortunately, I wasn’t working today. However, how am I supposed to get out?

The true Canadian way I guess. I grabbed the shovel and started digging a way out:

I managed to dig my way out and get the mail. Beautiful trenches, isn’t it? However, there’s not way I can shovel the driveway and back out with the car… there’s at least 60 cm of snow. The snow banks on the side of the road are almost a meter high! So I’m home, on the coach and I watch the blizzard.

We’re hoping someone will help us shovel tonight with a car. Another 20 cm of snow is expected tomorrow… Wish me luck to go to work!

    Hey Zhu,

    Absolutely gorgeous pics! Although the snow might be a bit of a nuisance, huh?

    Brilliant photography.

    I wish I could help you shovel too. To me, it was so much fun when I did it 2 years back. The desert is cooling down as well.

    This traveler is taking another break. Will be in touch upon my return. Have a great holiday season. :)

    Against all previous evidence, our two kids have developed a love of raking leaves and shovelling snow. I am truly blessed!

    Shantanu: I don’t even have a fireplace…! But I did have hot chocolate :wink:

    Chen: come over anytime!

    Max: it is tough to do daily stuffs with that much snow, and walking is a bit tiring considering the sidewalks are very slippery. But that’s Canada!

    Celine: thank you! Snow is a lot of fun… not just everyday ;-)
    John: you’re so smart… that’s what I call good parenting: make your kids do whatever you don’t want to do! Can’t wait to experience that! :lol:
    Dan: amazing! You can read my mind!
