It’s meeeelting

Back on December 10th or so, it snowed just a few centimetres before I left for England. I had Henry test the dusting on the porch but he wasn’t impressed. However, while I was gone, it snowed and snowed and snowed. It wouldn’t stop! It even snowed the morning of the day my flight home was. Fortunately it wasn’t heavy and stopped well before my flight arrived. Anyway, I got home on Saturday and on Sunday decided to measure the snow depth; it’s a good thing I have a giant ruler from design class.

This snow buried my car alive:

The weight of it also broke a couple large branches off one of our trees (that’s the one Henry got stuck in twice…)

But it totally MAKES my mom’s work outfit, dontcha think?

Anyway, now it’s slowly being reduced to puddles. They’re talking about flooding problems now though! It never ends. The funniest story on the news though is about a guy that was walking across a street and stepped into (what he thought was) a pot-hole and ended up neck-deep in water!

    Everyone was complaining about the snow and really, is all this flooding better? No, I think not. I am up north (this side of the Canadian border) and I wish that I would have bought rain and/or snow boots for this year! However, I haven’t any other year, why start now!
    Good luck w/ your flooding…I hope everyone obeys the detour signs…they won’t but they should!

    Kudos to your mother for allowing that photo to be taken, much less shared. We used to get snows like that, but I don’t know when we had more than a dusting. I’m really hoping for one snow of at least 5″ this winter…

    Ugh and Brrr….I feel for the guy who thought it was a little puddle. That must have been one COLD shock!

    I actually have a pair of those boots for my old snowtrooper costume. lol The kids keep begging for snow…now they’ve declared that we need to live in Canada. ;) (I watch the Weather Channel a lot and I guess they’ve picked up on where the bulk of the snow is.)
