Blizzard aftermath

Blizzard aftermath
From an old slide. Totally "drifted in". A few days of blizzards left huge amounts of drift piled through and around the tractors and caravan trains. Clearing it typically took at least a day, sometimes two. On our return trip, blizzards were frequent and often we had only one day's travelling before being pinned down for several days, then repeating the process.

Gerda, Gillian Everett have particularly liked this photo

Yes, the snow drifts did look beautiful - until it came time to shovel the whole lot away. :)

There are always 2 sides of a coin...the one on your picture is amazingly beautiful, the shoveling is the other. Some of my contacts are from Canada and they are not very fond of snow and I understand why even if it has its wonderful sides.

Thank you, Gerda. Well, we managed to return OK, so although it was frustrating there were no serious problems - and I guess it was good exercise. :)
