I almost exoect to see some reindeer pop their heads round the corner. Seriously though, it's not much fun when you have to get down to the hard work of clearing it away, especially when you're not as fit as you'd like to be, You take care, as there's only one YOU and can't be replaced. I hope it'll be gone soon, and not March as you mention. We had it that bad back in 1962 where it didn't clear properly till April, but that was unusual.Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06493608700532494612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048485913989464703.post-86109571029700901592011-01-11T13:14:56.368-07:002011-01-11T13:14:56.368-07:00Hey Kieth, this snow will stay till the end of Mar...Hey Kieth, this snow will stay till the end of March or even the end of April. <br />Cat we had a crapy spring last year, I sure hope it warms up in March or April.Horst in Edmontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523290699599403329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048485913989464703.post-53252345609230088452011-01-11T09:23:42.553-07:002011-01-11T09:23:42.553-07:00Oh Horst.

This year weave had so far about 4 feet of snow, officaly, maybe not that much, but some places around here got more than other places.
