“Big Snow” arrives!

Posted on January 23, 2005February 19, 2017 by Ian C.

A lot more snow now than yesterday; however it is still very light snow and the high winds are creating some amazing effects!
Our next door neighbours porch has an impressive sculpture on top, and also is filled with snow – they won’t be coming out the door that way for a while!

In our front garden snow is drifted up almost over the mailbox – maybe four feet; but around the cars it’s clear enough that you could drive straight off!

Big Snow Coming?

Posted on January 22, 2005February 19, 2017 by Ian C.

The weather people are having a hard time predicting the weather at the moment, but they are convinced we will have snow tonight – maybe two feet or more! The previous biggest snow Margaret & I have ever seen was about two feet on April 1, 1997.
It has been snowing all day today – but this is nothing to do with the winter storm on its way from mid-west USA; todays snow is “ocean effect” where cold winds blowing over the ocean pick up moisture from the ocean and dump it on the coast. So far I think we have about four inches so far, but this ocean effect snow is very light and fluffy – like soap flakes! Easy to clear; we will see what is out there in the morning … meanwhile, we watch the snow fall outside the window:
