Newfoundland Snow Storm, Jan 10-11 Options

[newfiebrit]

Ahh snowblowers, invented by Canadians, for Canadians Make sure you get a two-stage unit. That heavy went stuff is a killer for shovelling and snowblowing...I guess you at least got some good excercise

I managed to catch one of the council snowblowers widening the road outside the house this afternoon, now I wish I had one of these!!!....and yes I was sad enough to film it ....they are still a novelty to me as not the sort of thing you see outside your house in the UK. You can see how much snow we've lost in a few days, it was about as high as the fence on Friday. Surprised they came around actually, we had double the snow we had from last weeks storm, over 8 days last year but never seen the big snowblowers up here, usually has to be real bad for that. At least it's going to freeze now, there is still some snow left, maybe chance to get out sliding on the weekend if can find a decent spot with enough snow, was hoping for a top up Thursday 5-10cm but seems going to miss us now be lucky to get a couple of cm.
