I'm a broken man therefore I surrender.
My spirit has been broken so I now wave the white flag. 7 months of snow has brought me to this point. Eavestroph were running yesterday. Geese have been flying over for the last week. Beautiful day this morning. Life is good. Ya right. Fml another 1/4" of snow in a hour this evening and still coming down. This is on top of the 3' in the yard we had previously. Please someone make it stop I've had enough. A move to kukamunga is very appealing at this time. Either this or partaking in green herb to put me in a euphoric state where everything is rosie.

I understand. Tried to sneak across the stubble last week to a gopher patch. Stuck to the running boards. Never even cussed, just walked home for the tractor. That's how bad it is...........

Water pooled up against /by my double garage door and then when it got cold froze. All this stupid melt it off the roof and then go to -23c.
So I have two vehicles locked up by 4” of ice by this stupid weather. (It’s a longer story involving a new metal roof)
Carbon tax....Global warming...my adze.

That's a great line.
We still have 8 feet of frost, so no worries about getting stuck.

That happened to me once in my garage, huge melt over a week then a quick freeze, went out to the garage and ice was half way up the mustang rims! (Old garage with dirt floor). Not a darn thing I could do until it warmed up and melted, wish I had gotten pictures.

We haven't really had alot of snow in Edmonton this year. Think Calgary got more?
Spoke with mom today, western Newfoundland had another good dump during a storm yesterday. But as a bonus, the rivers should be higher for salmon to run. Wish I could be home for it.

Just be glad you're not a golfer. The local course by my place doesn't even look like they've had a chance to even remotely start getting the course ready. Greens still barricaded and everything. It was open on April 15th last year. At this rate, they'll be lucky to be open by mid May.

Doesn’t bother me.
I was hoping for a couple more feet of snow out east to fill the duck ponds.
Getting too late now. Guess I’m outta luck.

I took the ATV out West yesterday, South West facing hills are good to go.
Some areas have 3' to 4' of snow pack.
Just heading to Southern BC to go fishing, long range shooting, and Trad archery.
Get a chance to explore some trails out there to.
