We hope to keep all of our cross-provincial friends, and those abroad, updated with this blog. And maybe even hear from some who are long lost friends.

Blizzard at the Thiessen Farm

Tim's Aunt Rosemary and Uncle Russ live in Hepburn, just a little North of Martensville, and gave us some photos of their yard after the blizzard last week. Russ is standing about 5 ' away from their house . It was like the wind made a path around their house and then dumped about 6-12' of snow on the entire yard.
Russ is standing on the ground here. The snow swirled around to be about 8' tall here.
They said it was like cement. You can walk on all of the snow on their yard and not fall through.
They had to have a tractor with a large snow blower thingy come and plow them out.
Making caves in the snow - don't worry, there's no way this tunnel is going to cave in for quiet some time. They had to use a shovel to carve it out because the snow is so compact.

That is some snow! I wish I had a snow fort to play in. But then again, I'm supposed to be too old to play. What they don't know, won't hurt them;)
