More snow fell here overnight. For the 3rd morning this week I had shovelling to do.
Funny thing is, in the past 2 days more snow fell here than that entire snowstorm that shut down half the SE seaboard of the USA, including the entire state of Georgia. About twice as much in fact. What did Winnipeggers do after the snow here? We brushed off our cars and drove to work.
Or in my case drove to the bank, the market, and my massage therapy appointment. :D
Why? How could we just go about our business when a lesser storm shut down 1/4 of the US? Simple. Like any good Canadian city Winnipeg is armed with a battalion of graders, plows, front-end loaders and dump trucks. Thousands of them. But not only that, we have sanding trucks, thus we can actually drive on our roads after smaller snow dumpings like we've seen this week. We know what we're doing when it comes to winter.
Now if you'll all excuse me my shovelling is done and I'm about to head out. More deals out there I want to take advantage of. Enjoy your suntanning or whatever it is you Southerners are doing these days.
