Dug out photos

Here's the view out front: the neighbour across the way snow blowed a bunch, but all that marks the street are two tire tracks. Didn't my mom do a nice job of the walk? ;)



Here's my mom and B shovelling out the last bit of the back parking pad:



A neighbour with a snowblower cleared one of the back lanes.

This is what a parking lot looks like in Winnipeg in winter:



That big pile of snow in the background used to be all over the lot. They'll come back and haul it away when they're done clearing the other lots and streets. (The private contractors tend to do the big store lots first, because they pay better than the city. ;) )

That reminds me... apparently Winnipeg has it's own little baby glacier. We pile our excess snow in one spot, and with the sand and muck that ends up forming a protective layer on top, it takes a long time to melt. Correction: I thought that there was one summer that it didn't melt at all, but mom says that the longest she can remember is it taking into August. So I guess it's not a real glacier. *sigh*
