Ahhh! I'm drowning in snow!

Is that even possible?  I feel like we have had the longest snowiest February ever!  We often have cold weather in Calgary, but we don't often get that much snow and as happy as I am that my garden has a bit of snow cover to protect it from these chilling temperatures, I would be happier if some of it started to melt.  I still have 3 feet in my backyard!  It is going to take a while for this to melt.  And today it is snowing again!  And it is minus 20-something and with the windchill it is minus 30-something!  Aaaahhhh (maniacal screaming)!

OK, thank you.  I fell better.  I just had to get that off my chest.

Even the birds knew it was coming.  We witnessed this really weird swarm of waxwings that came to our Mountain Ash and gorged themselves on the red berries.  It was really weird.  But I bet they knew this weather was coming and they were getting ready.

My sister lives in Calgary so I've heard all about it...and from Nicole's posts as well. Who's happy I live in Vancouver? I am! :)
