Digging out

Well we are finally dug out of our place. Well actually for a few days - but it was dreadful. Wednesday it was blizzarding out all day and night. Saskatoon pretty much came to a complete standstill and we didn't move until Thursday. Thursday I had to shove on the front door just to get it open and then shovel a pathway that was waist deep just to get to my car!
Thankfully someone had snowblown the main walkway! Thank you! It saved me a lot of time as well as a lot of back pain! It was very cold -40 something with the windchill on Thursday so we didn't go anywhere after that. School was canceled for Dallas (which never happens in the city as they are needed for working parents) and Friday his school bus wasn't running do to the extreme windchills. Crazy weather! It was the worst storm since 1955 now and lasted almost 24 hours. Yikes - I hope we never see another storm like that.




The first two pictures are the front of my house. It was up to my knees pretty much between the two mountains on either side of my walkway. It also shows how much snow had blown on the front of the house too.






These pictures show where I had to push open the door to even get it open! There was a lot of snow!


The last pictures were taken of the snow on the mailbox, etc. I really like the one with the lights on. :)
