The blizzard is over, but we do have several days of regular snow this week with minor accumulations. As I look out in my all-white yard, it is easy to forget that just 3 days ago there was almost no snow left.

....

Tomorrow they will reopen the highways after plowing and sanding, and life will return to normal. ....

The definition of Canadian optimism.

Will pick up Alan at 6:00 am and start heading your way. Should be at your place by 9:00 am. Have to stop at Tim Hortons along the way for a mobile Canadian breakfast!
We had wind here and a skiff of snow but no drifts.
I’m looking at the weather and we have a 90 percent chance of snow on Wednesday. Of course, the day we leave for Calgary. Don’t care, I fixed the 4x4 in my truck so I’ll plough through anything my bald tires will take me!
Let the adventure begin.

They had the main highway closed overnight and until at least 10 this morning. I see it is open now.
Come Wednesday, if we have to drive at 50kmh to get out of this province we will. Regina, although cold, is not forecast to have snow. Calgary will be +7 and going to be +14 by Saturday. T-shirt weather.



Brandon should rise to +8 by the time we get back Sunday. It will be the first + temperatures we have seen since Valentines day. Actually, I didn't see that; I was in Mexico.



Just finished my lunch and time to run the snowblower for a bit to start prepping the shop area for vehicle movement.

Meanwhile in the uk, 5mm of snow will result in schools closing and grid-locked roads!

I remember traveling back from Afghanistan, while in Germany waiting for the next plane, less than an inch of snow fell. The plane was many hours late leaving due to this, and I missed my connecting flight in Toronto.

I guess it's what you are used to and prepared for.

Absolutely... sadly it seems the expense of a few days inconvenience must be less than the expense of avoiding the inconvenience.
