Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

Sat-siri-akal and hello to everyone!!!! Since Monday, we have gone from having no snow whatsoever, to having about 2 feet. It is crazzzzzzy!! It is really nice when the temperature is not too cold, and it is snowning lightly, it actually looks really pretty and is a lot of fun because you can have wicked snow ball fights, hehehe. However, when the temperature drops to -30 or more with a windchill, it starts to bite you in the tooshy, not so much fun anymore. Then there is the driving on the roads with people who do not want to leave just a little bit sooner, and drive a little bit slower. Those are the people you see in accidents or stuck in a snowbank....the roads yesterday were sooo bad, when turning you have to go so so slowing or else you will end up sliding and skidding with no control at all. I remember about 2 or 3 years ago, before when I only had my learners, my Dad would drive my friend Lerissa and I to school in the morning and he would let me drive. So the one morning we are going, and it was really really icy that day (by the way, I was driving the massive Toyota 4Runner that day, for those who don't know, is friggen huge, and you would be able to go through any snow) and I went to turn left in a mjor intersection, and it was soo icy that I ended up losing control and doing a complete 360 sliding into the other lane of oncoming traffic. Scariest moment ever, luckily there were no cars there then, or else it would have been a major accident. I remember that I was so scared to drive after that, it took me awhile before I could drive in the snow and ice again....just shows that you have to be uber careful when driving in the snow. Here are so pictures that were taken this week. Enjoy!




This is our house, I took it from across the sreet...oh the snow...

Wow, hello familiar road!!! Snow, oh how I miss you!!!! But, I know, it is not the best for driving, or taking public transport. But, I still miss it. Thanks for putting these pictures up, Baljinder. Speak to you soon.
