Serious SNOW

I was SHOCKED when we got back from warm Texas at the end of January to see ALL the snow. Poor Mike spent hours every couple of days shoveling snow from our driveway. Everyone here is saying this is the most snow they have gotten in 25 years. We never saw anything even close to this in Calgary last year. Calgary warms up every 10 days or so which melts a lot of the snow. Not here!

Our backyard. The only thing that really gives you perspective to the 4 feet of snow is how high up the back fence the snow goes. Mike had to clear an area for Maya because it was so deep.

The 6 feet of snow on either side of our driveway!

FINALLY they came to plow our street for the first time this winter! That is a 25 foot pile of snow in the middle of the cul-de-sac

Now that is a snow plow! It was really nice to finally drive on pavement again through our neighborhood.

Those are the giant 1 foot thick chunks of ice the snow plows removed from the street in front of our house.

She loves to help Daddy shovel snow. What a good helper!

NEGATIVE 18 is COLD! Olivia and I had to venture out for an OB appointment in -18. We had such a short walk to his office from the parking lot, but we were still frozen!
