We were lucky here in Red Deer - we had a white crimbo (hasn't snowed for ages but we had had enough for it to stick but the roads to be clear). When we woke this morning it was snowing, it has been snowing all morning and it is still snowing and there are no signs of it stopping - wondering wether I should shovel now and then later or just wait until it stop and disappear when I step outside?

We had a fair dump here in the Okanagan (by our standards) ... 6.5 inches in our part of town.

Try about 14" here on Saturday night! And we've had snow since October! Mind you it is about 25 degrees warmer than this time last year.

This year in Ontario it has a certain novelty value.

My skating rink sucks (unless you are a duck), and the sledding has been very poor so far

Yeah, but I'll bet you aren't shedding a tear over your heating oil bill.

You'll get lots of other chances to skate with her later.... winter has a long way to go before it's over.... and you always have the indoor rinks.
