They Lied!!

The weather forecasters said 16cm by tonight.  How about 20cm by this morning!  There is chaos in the city! The streets are like skating rinks and lots of the roads are at a standstill. I got up at 7:45 and one of our neighbours was shoveling our sidewalks.  That's a great help, now I just have to do the driveway and all the back.
 The driveway, through the screen door
 So much snow, that's as far as I can push the door open to the driveway!
 That pile is the raspberry patch!
 The neighbour had shoveled the sidewalk
The front lawn and hedge!
That's quite a mountain on the bird house!
The icing on the patio table!

I guess this is the start of it!  Glad I got the last of the plants cut back and bagged yesterday for the compost pickup today. Kelsey and DIL were supposed to drive to Fairmount B.C. today to do all the preparations for the wedding on Saturday!  Just talked to Kelsey, she can't even get out of her neighbourhood to go to the bank.  I hope they wait until tomorrow.

    Snow is beautiful, on Christmas cards, it doesn't take much to bring the UK to a standstill.

    Oh my goodness! Lily would love it. Not much fun when you need to get about your day, however. X

      Apparently traffic is at a stand still, people can't get out of their neighbourhoods!

    My goodness, so much snow. So early in the season, is that normal for your area?

      The normal amount of snowfall for October is 10cm-for the entire month! We've had more than double that and it's only the 2nd Oct.

    Will this mean a blanket of snow till spring or does it melt and then snow again? It does seem far too early even to me

      Oh my goodness, we hope it's not here until Spring!! We do get Chinooks(warm winds that come over the mountains) so that usually gets rid of some of the snow. We had very few Chinooks last year though.

      You're right about the table Tania. I always like to take a picture of the bird house as well!

    We are getting this in southeast Saskatchewan now! Right now we are at about 5 cm since 7 this morning (now almost 10) and it is still coming down pretty heavy.

    God bless.
