In spite of all the complaining being done about this snowstorm, at least we didn't get as much as predicted.  I'd say we ended up with somewhere around four inches on average, but with the wind blowing again, there's definitely been some drifting g … continue reading

Cold Catch

Cold Catch
The first thing I had on my agenda was to go out and check on several vacant homes this morning since I was freaked out yesterday after seeing that frozen house with its hot water heating system.  Thank goodness they looked just fine and glad for it … continue reading

Sun Doggies
We certainly had quite the cold day, but at least the sun was shining, and if only that wind would've gone down, I would say it could've been a pleasant after-the-storm day. One positive thing was my being able to take the above photo of this morning … continue reading

The More you Blink

The More you Blink
It looks like tonight's going to be another hellacious one where this Alberta Clipper is going to be moving a whole lot of snow around, and definitely not where we want it to be tomorrow morning.  Once again, I'd say we're a good month late in havin … continue reading
