Beautiful. Gorgeous Snow!!

 

The rest of the month of March and the first part of April have been filled with

snowstorms and blizzards. I took a lot of pictures because it was so, so gorgeous.

I'm going to share a few of them in one post. Just know that these cover about a 3 week period.

 

 

 Church was cancelled on Sunday March 15. This is what our parking lot looked like.
We are so blessed that the people here get right on snow removal.
It wasn't possible for most people to even get out of their driveways, the buses didn't run etc.

 

 

This was shortly before the plow came in on Monday morning. All schools were cancelled.

 

 

 



 

 

By 6:30 is was being cleared. That is our pickup on the left front.

 

 

 

10:00 Monday morning. It just kept snowing and snowing.....

I was so grateful that it was not my responsibility to shovel!!

After they had cleared a bit, Laurence went and finished digging out the pickup

and then moved it so they would have more room to work with in clearing the lot.

 

 

The main door to our apartment building. It leads out to the parking lot in back.

 

This is our bedroom window right before the snow storms....

 

Our bedroom window. Although it looks like there is space at the top, it really is just an air pocket.

 

 

This is how Laurence deals with a snow day with the temple closed and most of the city shut down...

 

 

 

This is how I deal with a snow day.....

I LOVE MY SCARF THAT AISLING GAVE ME FOR CHRISTMAS!!

Laurence was still kind enough to brave the crazy roads to take me to Tim Horton's for my wifi fix.

 

 

We still didn't have internet or telephone. Tim Horton's is a fast food place that has

great donuts and free wifi! They were the only place open.

We were supposed to get that on Monday the 16th.

The storm made it so we didn't get it for another week.

 

 

It continued snowing that week. This is our main door (shown above) on Thursday

when they were able to get to it. They cleared it with a back hoe.

The operator was amazing. He was able to get right against the building without scraping it.

They also cleared this one with a back hoe.

Laurence did the finishing up on the steps with his snow shovel.

It made it nicer for everyone going in and out.

 

 

The street behind our apartment.

It really is a two lane street....

 

 

We arrived early for church on Sunday March 22nd. Laurence backs  in toward the temple

instead of the church so he stays out of the way of other smaller vehicles.

 

 

It was so incredibly beautiful!!

 

From our bedroom window at midnight on March 28.

Just missing the Christmas lights!!

 

 

I almost missed getting a picture at all of the snow this Sunday morning (March 29).

A lot was gone by the time we had driven to the church and church was out.

 

 

The streetlight outside our apartment. Love the ice on it!

 

 

This was taken  when we first got here,

when there was less snow.

 

 

Taken yesterday, Saturday April 11. Just a wee bit more to go. 

Soon we'll be able to use our front door and walk.

SPRING IS ON IT'S WAY!!
