Cheers...thankyou...we got about 3ft but the drifts around the house are much higher, being close to the ocean we got high winds and they were constant all day for a few hours you could see nothing.
We are lucky the man next door snowblows for us and during the day of the storm he did it 3 times. He is from Bristol...our daughter also came over and dug out an area by the back door for the dog, eventually we will have to make a pathway from the front of the house to the back so the oilman can make a delivery. We are expecting more snow tomorrow.....

I am not sure this will work but here is a picture from the front window, somewhere in the middle is a road....

Gosh - what a lot of snow! It's so nice that you have a kind neighbor to snow-blow for you - and a Brit too!! It's snowing here in Ohio right now - but we were lucky - we missed that big storm that hit the North East US. Spring can't come soon enough!!

Wow thats drastic but I see where you are coming from, many health problems are connected.

I heard the other day that 90% of retired people (Seniors) in America have NO dental coverage, sadly thats just amazing.

I have an appointment next week for a check-up and cleaning... $245!!!! I dread that they might find something that needs doing.

Best to stay warm inside (I am SO over snow after Canada) Trotty, hope you've got plenty of Horlicks!

Hi Curleytops.... don't just say Canada, say where. Remember Canada is 5,780 miles across. It's like comparing California to New York. Here on the West Coast of Canada, unless you go up in the mountains, we have mild winters with less snow than England. Right now, it's sunny and not very cold. I'm driving around with my windows open. I can't remember the last time we had frost.

Just sayin..... because so many people think we live in igloos!

Curleytops....yes I have Horlicks but someone In the family walked off with my Cadburys Chocolate drink.....I will have to stock up on my Cadburys chocolate as the U.S. has stopped the import of it from the UK....not buying the American.....not sure when it starts....

I'm afraid I wasn't so lucky; I lived 2 hours west of Thunder Bay in NW Ontario. This was taken around Ground Hog Day in my last winter in Canada. Around those parts, 6 more weeks of winter is an early spring.

That's the snow bank along the side of my Dad's driveway. Up until this year he's ploughed it with an old Land Rover, pushing the snow back onto a patch of spare ground. Some years it takes until June for the very back of that snow bank to completely melt away.

I heard Cadbury's was in a bit of a fight with Hershey's over imported chocolate. I can understand why Hershey's was nervous about the competition; there's no contest. Hope you can find a good supply line!

cheers

Be very careful with shoveling snow because there are a lot of heart attacks that are recorded with people shoveling snow.

I think both companies are now American owned.

Sticky situation: Outrage as Cadbury banned in US

Much of USA's Valentine's candy came from Mexico - ABC News

So could your Cadburys chocolate be manufactured in Mexico?

I will boycott Hershey as much as possible.

To think people love hersheys kisses is a joke, tried them once Never again.

If anyone wants to see a good movie could I suggest "The Imitation Game", I enjoyed it.
