Here are some pictures taken today. I finally got out for a much needed walk around the little village. There are now vertical snow walls sliced out by snowblowers and ploughs. There really isn’t enough space to push the snow anymore and intersections are dangerous because you need to nose your vehicle out pretty far before you can tell if the way is clear for you to pull out or make a turn. Soon front end loaders and dump trucks will come to take away some of this snow and make it easier to navigate. Our temperatures are supposed to be going up to closer to zero or even above in the next week. There’s my little part of the world. Have a good week everyone.

  1. We are heading into March, so stronger sun and warmer temperatures will whittle it down soon enough. Time to get thinking about gardening!

  3. Running out of space to put the snow here too! Roll on the "big melt".

  4. WOW! Those are snow walls. I am thankful that are temps are finally getting back to closer to normal. Let's hope that March brings a much needed break from the snow.

  5. You wouldn't want to be driving your car when it got stuck in the narrow road with the steep snowy sides. Be safe!

    1. Our snow ploughs work hard at making sure both lanes are clear and keeping snow banks pushed back on main roads. In towns and villages things are more crowded.

  6. We have so much snow here in Saskatchewan too. We finally got above zero yesterday, and melting has begun. It’s pure bliss. Hope you get much the same this week.

    1. When melting starts to happen it’s like you have hope again! I think we will have a lot of snow for a few more weeks though.

  7. We didn't have snow like that, mercifully, and it should melt this week. Stay safe.

  8. That amount of snow is just incredible to me. You're living in extreme conditions. Daily life must be so difficult. Grocery shopping? Even online someone has to deliver. Rubbish collection. Looking after those chooks every day.
    Roll on spring!

  12. We used to get snow like that in the 70's, but not for the past 30 years. Sometimes I wish we got a bit more, though our youngest might not agree with that.

    God bless.

  13. I used to love it when we had radio antennas on our car that stuck up. People would put little red ping pong-type balls on the top of them so they would stick up above the drifts. Can't do that now. That's a peck of snow, I hope the melt comes quickly. We're warming up here this week and I hope it goes north!

  14. It looks just like that where I live. It’s minus 19 outside right now. Spring will come!

  15. That is a lot of snow. Good thing trucks come and take it away from the intersections. Hope it melts fast!
