Snow Times

There is nothing worse than a December ice storm. I will take all the soft fluffy snow that you want to drop all day long but once you mix rain with snow you get layers of heavy ice on everything. No power for days in some cases not to mention all the damage done to anything underneath a tree or power line. Skating on the ice is fun but driving on it is a nightmare that should not be attempted even by professionals. Poor Toronto and it's lake effect snow.

 

Then of course there is my town that has had a decent amount of snow this year already. These are the piles left from clearing the snow off the roof.

 

 

I could also watch snow being cleared off the roads all day long. I wish they had a channel that showed that kind of stuff 24/7. Our town has a new kind of snow cleaner that just attaches to the dump truck and moves down the truck as it fill it up. Then it detaches, hooks up to another dump truck and is on it's way.

 

 

Then there of course are my pictures from Shilo, Manitoba in my youth.
