The Day After A Winter Storm

It started snowing late Friday evening, March 7th, and didn't stop until early Sunday morning. When it was over, we ended up with 33 centimetres (13 inches) of snow! Margaret-Ann and I shovelled before we went to bed on Friday, four times throughout Saturday, and for the last time Sunday morning. The pictures below were taken on Sunday, March 9th around mid afternoon... what a difference a day makes -- the sun was shining with very little wind and the temperature was around 0.

The lawn ornaments beside the front door seem to enjoy the snow. Of course, they didn't have to shovel it!

With spring just two weeks away, snow is piled up almost seven feet on either side of the driveway.

Strong winds during the storm kept most of the snow off the 2nd floor roof, but piled it up about 3 feet on the 1st floor and garage roof.

Thirty-six hours after the storm started and we still haven't seen a plow on the street.


After all that work, I'm not holding up the shovel... the shovel is holding me up!
