This is really a photo post just to give you a flavour of what alot of snow looks like. Last night it started snowing, pretty light fine grained snow. We woke up to 40cm+ and most of the day has been spent digging snow one way or another.

See photos below

Me with my trusty snowblower (1st session 7:30am - 8:30am). I think another session will be inorder later today because it is still snowing

Kathryn digging her way to the front door, and yes she is standing up!

The back deck is usually kept clear and Julie has shovelled the hill off the deck infront of you. You can see last nights snowfall (the deck is full to a height of about 40cm).

Kathryn has always been interested in survival experiences and the outdoors so she saw the 3metre snow piles at the back of the deck as an opportunity to dig a snowhole. So armed with a trowel she set too digging herself a survival snowhole.

Comparison photo. On the right a photo of Jules clearing the deck taken 19th Jan 2009. On the left Kathryn sitting on the snow bank next to the hand rail taken today. The same left side hand rail as the other photo
