Another Snow Day

Where's the Driveway? We woke up this morning to find that there was a lot of snow in the Driveway this morning. I say a lot. It is more like 8ft of snow at the end of the Driveway. Here is a picture of Tom tunnelling his way to the end of the Driveway. You can see how high the snow is on Tom who is 6ft.


Where's the Car? You can see the wind mirrors of the car poking out of the snow. A Hyundai Elantra.


Here is Lewie for scale. You can see the snow in the background is up to his head. It was a lot of snow in one storm. 40 cm accumulation in total. But the winds were high at 90 km/hr so the snow really drifted in places. All business, schools and offices were closed this morning. The Main highway was closed in sections because of drifting snow. It brightened up in the afternoon and turned into a nice day off from work.



A Good Job finally completed. It took us both, well I say both, Tom mostly with a little bit of help from Lewis and I all day to shovel out. We took it slowly and took some breaks but it took a good 4 /5 hours. You can only just see the tracks on the road from the cars, mostly snow mobiles.



Well Tom was supposed to be heading off today to Corner Brook. He is supposed to be doing a quick job out there. He couldn't go obviously but is hopeful to head out tomorrow.
I am just Hopeful that we don't get any more snow like this lot!!!

That's some serious snow - probably just as well it didn't do that while we were there.
Great for Lewis to build Forts in, all he needs to do is did a tunnel.
I hope Tom has a good trip to Corner Brook - is he flying or driving?
Love the Blog, keep 'em coming.
Cheers
Richard

Tom will be driving across the Island if the TCH road is open. It was closed today because of drifting. Trucks and cars were stuck.He has to rent a truck from here in town and then drive out. He will be going with a Friend who is his helper this time around. The Corner Brook Winter Games are currently on, so I don't know if he will get the opportunity to see any of it. Probably will be too busy.
