My driveway is getting smaller and smaller with all the snow piled up on the sides!
Oh boy, I agree!! Need a 4x4 just to get over the big ice hump at the front of our driveway too :rolleyes: Bring on the sun to melt some of this away :)
Yup - Ah hear the sun is comin' and its gonna warm up pardners - Ice and ruts again! Yippee!
Haha I was out shovelling this morning and I could barely get the snow on top of the drifts on the lawn and I'm 5'10". This is crazy! My lawn is so small too, so not a lot of room, good thing we have small sidewalks!
Me either! The mailman can barely get to the mail box the snow is so bad...Im surprised he will even deliver at this point...I am starting to wish I had a snowblower!!!!This is just ridiculous, and a lot of work too, Where are the kids trying to make money when you need em! ;)
Yep, it's crazy!! Thankfully it's warming up and there isn't much more snow forecasted for a while.. whew. That was a gooder!!!!
Well Im not in Ed but I thought I would drop in and let you guys know you are not alone! This is part of an article I pulled from our local newspaper:
According to Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips, 120.5 centimetres of snow have fallen in Regina since the end of October. The previous high at the end of January was 113.4 cm, recorded in the winter of 1973-74 at the Regina International Airport. "You may not get any more, but (the record) is already in the bag," said Phillips. "Nobody has lived through more snow up to this time of the year."
In fact, parts of Regina have already topped their normal accumulation for an entire winter -- a manageable-sounding 106 cm.
While not wanting to incite widespread panic, Phillips also noted that Regina usually only has about 49 per cent of its total winter snowfall by mid-January.
This kinda scares me! Were all starting to dread the thought of the spring melt. So much is going to be flooded even worse than the storms of last summer!
No Im not posting to get your simpathy, as I said Im just posting so you guys know yoru not alone in this fight.
Not to burst your bubble, but I heard snow for tomorrow...but I hope that you are right!!Quote:

Let the kids play in the front yard yesterday. They are great at packing down the snow so I can pile more up. Neighbour asked if they could come play in her yard tomorrow.
Oops sorry! Haha and it didn't really snow today either! You are right though, I can handle a bit more but no more big dumps, please! :)Quote:

If I let her play in the snow out front she would get lost, you could dig tunnels with how deep it is out there, haha.Quote:

D/h had it and bought a snowblower today...the kids almost kissed his feet.
With all this snow melting and freezing and melting and freezing again, going to go through more ice melt this year it seems. What's the best non-salt enviromentally friendly ice melt do you use? Any good coupons and/or sales out there right now?
My cheapest solution is sending my DH out with the ice chipper... ha ha! I told him he could get the best shovel and ice chipper money could buy (one of those rare moments when he doesn't have to wait for a sale or coupon). I think he'll be interested in hearing feedback to your question, though. :)
you could always hire a snow removal company like http://www.edmsnow.ca or sign up for their residential snow removal services here http://www.edmsnow.ca/online-sign-up/
