Yesterday we had a brutal snowstorm that dumped 30+cm of snow (a foot for those of you south of the 49th parallel) and then swirled it around with strong winds.

We woke up this morning to....
#1 Hubby with his back-saving 'toy'


#2 A roof that needed shoveling


#3 A gorgeous sunrise over the field across the road from our house


#4 and at the cross road too


#5


Just a typical January morning in the Maritimes!

I've got to get myself one of those toys - my 19 and 25 year old won't be around forever (although sometimes it seems like it )

I love #3 - it reminds me of northern Maine.

Hi Snowgirl......I really enjoyed your pictures, but I think I will stay in Arizona. I was out and about today in a T-shirt

Oh my goodness ... you did get snow didn't you

Truly enjoyed your series of photos. Your view from across the road is beautiful. As for the 'back saver' our men use .. I want my own now. Looking at a smaller version to do our back yard. Shoveling it is the pits.

When will you see ground again .. March?

Thanks - to everyone. IF we're lucky, we'll see mud - er - ground in late March or early April. Green things should appear in late April or early May - although we have had the occasional blizzard in early May (ugh).

My FAVOURITE season is fall - which often extends into mid-November. It's cool (but not cold), the sun still has some strength, there are no bugs to drive you nuts if you go out into the woods, and the autumn colours in the leaves are fantastic. The downside is the decreasing daylight hours and the knowledge that the white sh*t isn't far behind.

Here's a link to my opinion on winter

G'day snow, am glad you got it...In away Here in toronto we had snow form 2 consecutive weekends which we could not go out, all in all i luv those.
