SNOWED IN!!


Literally!! We just got over 20 centimeters of snowed dropped on us in the last 12 hours. So insane!! Last night at supper time, I left to drive to pick up Steve. The roads were terrible and I was being cautious. As i got off the disreali overpass and turned left on main street, i fishtailed and ended up doing a complete 360. Yes, during rush hour traffic. Thankgoodness for a red light holding up the oncoming traffic. I ended up in the same position and continued driving. The kids were all asleep soundly in the back and didn't remember a thing. I then made Steve drive home. I hate driving in Winnipeg in winter!!
So this morning Steve was late for work because he had to dig his way out. He shoveled himself out of the entire back lane but he made it. As you can see from this picture. I can not open my front door.


And this is out the back door. Crazy!! It is supposed to be very very mild this week so I am sure we will lose alot of it.

It looks pretty much the same here this morning in Killarneytown. I dug my way home from work, then dug my way into the house and then tried to miss the plow coming down our street...but we did it! Happy New Year's.

Brrr! i can't imagine that anymore!! We spent the morning raking our back yard (green grass!!!) and trying to get rid of all the tree limbs and branches that the wind storm blew in a couple weeks ago. Hopefully it warms up and melts some of that snow. Too bad Steve couldn't be storm stayed with you and the kids (although that generally means no pay that day:( ). Happy New Years!! Any plans?

I'm so glad you were kept safe even though you had a scary moment. I hate driving in winter period. I really am all the more scared to now that I am pregnant.
We got about 30 cm of snow out this way.
