December 18, 2007

The paper today said we set a new record for the most snow on one day in December, 37 cm (14 inches). We also have a record amount of snow on the ground, 75 cm (29 inches). But I haven't seen any signs of snow blowers removing snow yet. So far, the snow has just been pushed around.

At least today there is a way off the shopping mall premises and onto the street, even if you do have to walk around a little to get back on the crosswalk.

People will make a path if they always walk somewhere and this is no exception. Apparently, I rejoiced too early that they had shoveled the path between our subdivision and the next one. Now it has been blocked at our end by a wall of snow. But people have still managed to trample a narrow path and have got around the wall of snow by snaking in at the mail box where the snow has been shoveled away.

Here's how it looks from the other end.

Here is the street sign, holding its own against the pile of snow.

Thank goodness we engineer our roofs for snow load.

And here is that car! I thought it was a goner until Spring but I saw today that someone had shoveled it out.
