Whelbourns in Canada

• Wednesday 2 January 2008 - Wanted Snowblower must be able to shift tons....

The snow plough went past about 30 minutes ago and built a set of fortifications across the end of the drive that would have detered the German Army in WWII. (The snowplough pushes all the snow along the road and depending on how deep the snow on the road is depends how big and wide a wall it builds across the end of your lovely cleared drive)

Gemma and myself went into battle with only two shovels, two wooly hats, three scarves and two pair of gloves. It took us about 45 minutes of non-stop shovelling to clear the end of the drive.

 OMG DO I NEED A SNOW BLOWER!!!

Well one thing for all this shovelling it is helping me stick with my new years resolution to get fitter. Who needs a gym membership

Tomorrow I will get you some photos of the snow banks now around 6 feet high and rising. This is pre snow plough video, infact  it was taken before any shovelling this morning . Click on the link to see the video. Video taken this morning from the end of the drive!

How inviting does that snow look when it's due to reach 40 degrees here today and we're told there may be power blackouts and to limit aircon use!
Can I pop over and do a snow angel??

Happy shovelling :o)

WOW! Looks fantastic but I am so glad I'm not there. Mind you, the weather we have, I'd rather be anywhere. Jeez it's shite. Who had 2 scarves?

I have to admit to having two scarves. One tied around my face to cover my cheek and jaw to help with the Bells Palsy. It was in lieu of a Balaclava which I couldnt find (yes I have one...damn I didn't want to admit that)
