This year the weather has been particularly cold. We have LOTS of snow and the drifts are unbelievable. Here are a few pictures of some of the drifts. I altered the color so you could see more definition. It was still snowing when we took these so it was really hard to see with just a flat white. Thank-you to Dad for digging us out. There would have been no way we could have got out without your assistance! We have more snow now since these were taken but this gives you a pretty good idea . The last couple of days the weather has been around -30. Last night I believe it was -40 but today it was around -28!

To our left of him is the back end of a motorbike.
This is to the South of our house.
I am standing on the left in a space between two drifts.
This is to the North of our house. That little twig sticking out
is an evergreen tree! There are two wires from the fence buried underneath.
In some spots in the area, the fence is completely covered.
Our driveway. Some of these drifts are waist high.
After Dad cleared, this is the pile that was left. You can
compare it to the outhouse on the right.
This is the same drift I was standing behind.
Yes it is about the same height as the mini van.
I believe it is taller than the van now.
Craziness! We've had some wacko weather out here too! The weather guy was calling it an 'Alberta Clipper' I think it was. Our drifts may not have gotten that high by the time that storm got to us but the plows have pushed piles that high onto our yards. Your snow looks much prettier than our salt and gravel filled snow!
