Monday past we received 25cm of wind driven snow, which was unfortunately followed by 17mm rain on Wednesday which really cut down the snowpack. I would estimate we lost about one foot of snow, including pretty much all of last Monday's snowfall.

This weekend brought with it a forecast of significant snowfall Saturday evening into Sunday which was right on the money. Snow started after supper and got quite stormy overnight especially as the winds picked up creating near whiteout conditions.

By Sunday lunchtime the storm mostly subsided so I headed out to check the damage! Another 25cm of heavily drifted snow filled in the majority of our driveway once again!

Much the same as last weekend the Eastern side of my driveway was drifted 4-5' high due to the existing snowbanks. I had to break down the drift with a shovel and take multiple passes with the blower.

Hopefully the weather stays cold for a bit so French and I can take advantage of these wicked conditions and get out for another Argo Adventure!

Cheers, MIKE
