Summer's Coming!

I plowed 8" of white summer this morning. Probably another 2-4 tomorrow. You can check back in a month or so, then we'll see how close summer is.

We have a bit of snow left on the ground too - and more coming today.

It looks like you have a really well-insulated house: no icicles!

It gripes me that just when day length starts getting longer, I can't see out of the house because of the snow piles!

A number of years ago I spent ten days in Feb in Colorado; cold, but beautiful weather with lots of sun the whole time. We got stuck for three days in Moncton on the way home to PEI (because of a blizzard that dropped 1.25m of snow) before we could get a flight the rest of the way home.

Bob.....I built the house 30 years ago and I made sure I had lots of insulation (for those days) - R48 in the attic (with raised heel trusses so the insulation is the full width of the house) and R20 in the walls. It's paid for itself many times over.

Your trip wasn't in 1992, was it? That's the last year I remember us having this much snow in Moncton, and that fell in 2 storms over 5 days.

Yep, good memory! We were travelling on my daughter's 3rd birthday, Feb. 23, and spent two nights at the Beausejour courtesy of Air Canada. By the morning of the third day, the hotel was running out of menu items; the hotel manager drove us to the airport in his Jeep to catch the first plane out... a Dash-8, of course.
