First Snow of the Year (2022 Edition)

We had a dump a couple weeks ago but that disappeared and I think I’ve decided that this annual post will come the first day we have “snow that sticks” (and today’s Alberta clipper definitely seems that’ll be the case with a big storm blowing in overnight, some highways closed, buses stuck and people asking […]

Saturday Snap – Cleaning Out The Garage

Ready to clean out the garage… Can’t make out the beer’s label?  Yes, I was drinking a “Dad” beer! It’s a lot of pressure washing your garage mats (yes, the beer’s the reason I’m making dad jokes – honest!) 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Puddle Jumping (April 2013)

Our old house used to get a huge lake in front of it once all the snow melted.  At least it gave us a good spot to go puddle jumping…

Video of Multi-Vehicle Pileup in Pennsylvania (and My Most Scary Winter Drives)

This happened on Interstate 81 in Pennsylvania today pic.twitter.com/ONUUGOdtrH — ?_ Imposter_? (@Imposter_Edits) March 28, 2022 This video clip is insane (and sad – apparently five people died as a result of this multi-car pile-up in Pennsylvania when a snow squall blew in suddenly.)

We Have A Lot of Snow This Year!

I always had this sneaking suspicion that my memories of massively high snowbanks as a kid was influenced by the fact that I was, well, a kid, at the time and therefore, a medium-sized snowbank would’ve seemed like a mountain. Although a lot rarer than I remember as a kid, this year’s accumulated snowfall (and […]

Saturday Snap – Why Does Our Fence Lean Inward?

When we bought our house a couple years ago, we noticed a slight inward lean to the fence. I didn’t think anything of it but after a couple winters, I realise it’s probably because *all the snow* from the green space behind our house (note the grass showing in patches further out!) likes to blow […]
