I really do hope this snow dump will begin melting soon.\u00a0 Of course, to do that it would have to stop snowing<\/strong>!\u00a0 We’ve a good foot (or more) of snow on the ground and Drew was out shoveling yesterday.\u00a0 You’d never know he bothered as the patch of snow that’s drifted down or blown in has replaced most of the work he’d done.<\/p>\n

When we moved to Edm in 2003, it was snowing.\u00a0 It continued to snow at least once a month right up until the first week\u00a0 of July.\u00a0 I remember being completely shocked until Drew reminded me that we’d moved both west and north.\u00a0 About 600 kms north of where we’d lived previously.<\/p>\n

There are some wonderful<\/a> things<\/a> about living in a northerly city – considering the many\u00a0 territories and cities above us, I categorize Edm as northerly<\/em> instead of northern<\/em> – but the continuous winter is not one of them.\u00a0 Spring tends to arrive very suddenly, trees budding one morning and full leaves arriving short days after.\u00a0 The evil humoured ones among us would already argue it’s been and gone seeing as it was hovering between +15 and +20C a few short days ago.\u00a0 The crocuses have been and gone and my tulips were – before the snow dump – coming along nicely.<\/p>\n

To deal with the evil’s of snow I’ve decided to call a snow day and not drive to work today.\u00a0 Granted, I’m just taking an extra vacation day so I can study for my exams later this week.\u00a0 It seemed a good idea at the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
