Snow, Snow, Snow

While we were on our vacation to Ontario, a HUGE snowstorm hit Alberta on March 20.  One of the largest to hit in a very long time and caused havoc all over the place.  Our housesitter wasn't at our house when the storm hit and this resulted in her not even able to get to our home for 48 hours.  We ended up getting ahold of one of our neighbours and him skidooing in to feed and water the dogs that were in the shop.  Although we were thankful to be away, we were also sad to know that we were missing out in the excitement that everyone was getting to experience.  

Once we got back, I took some pictures of the boys on our laneway.  This was a large drift that was blocking the road (note: this is not a pile of snow that the graderman piled up...he did put some ontop but this showed the kind of drifts that were caused from the storm).  Vehicles were covered in snow, Grader's were covered and it took close to a week for the county to get all the roads back open again.  This truly has been a very interesting and LONG winter.  





If you have a chance google March 20 snowstorm Alberta.  Hopefully you will be able to see some of the craziness that happened that day!
