Thursday was enough to cancel some exterior work I had scheduled  But Friday I had inside work (restaurant & Apts) so the weather shouldn't have mattered. Wrong! Both places had no electricity and rescheduled. I'm feeling lucky I have power - it was burping and surging last night.
Thursday Morning on the left and Friday Morning on the right.
Looking out from my front walk:
Looking from across the street:
OK! That was fun!
But also enough! Now can we have the sunshine back again? I'm a Texan! If I wanted to be a SnowMan I'd move back up north! |

Please do post them! I'd like to see them! Always up for extreme pics.
But, Ya know... I expect a lot of snow in Canada. I'm in Dallas and usually we see more pictures of snow than actual snow. We MAY have some snow here twice in one year - sometimes it doesn't snow at all. Usually it is less than 3 inches at max. But this storm was WAY over the top for us. If you went out in it during the downfall you were not as able as any Canadian.
1.No one has snow tires here. Those and tire chains aren't sold here and you would only need them for a few hours every few years. I have some tire chains and have never used them here in Dallas because of what I underlined in #4.
2. They use sand here instead of salt - not an improvement!
3. Not one snow plow for hundreds of miles - if not more.
4. No one has any experience in driving in it except the few of us that have lived in snowy places before. So you are in danger of the dumbazzes learning to drive in it - at your expense when they bounce off you!  So my advice to peeps around here is to stay put unless it's an emergency trip to the hospital. The roads are always fine by the next day.
5. snow machines are not an option either.
So it's appropriate to laugh at our ineptness at handling snow since that is the main difference. Go ahead.. point and say: Snow Noobs!! LOL
But Canada will win any and all snow comparisons - duh! lol That's like telling Hawaii their ski slopes suck compared to yours and you have more Polar Bears! Nyah nyah nyah, Hawaii !
I'm thankful that this is a temporary condition. I would be screwed out of most of my business if this was normal.
And Spaz... Just take the pics with a blue tint to them and have them projected onto all the walls of a small room with white walls - then turn the A/C up real high. Buy a Snow Cone machine and make so much you can make an igloo in that room - Voila`! instant ice vacation!
You know you want to! 
 (Need the shades for all the blinding snow!) |

Yeah, T. That's a road I wouldn't have tried without tracks being involved.
Glad you could make it back out! |
