Sweet Snow!!!!

the wind's blown most of it in the bush, but even so i think the alberta season may have started!

anyone know what the lake ice is like yet? i've been chopping a hole in the dugout for the cattle for a while now (thank god they can get to eating snow now)...one of my draft horses walked across the ice the other day, my heart skipped a beat but it held just fine...

Shovelled twice today and will do it again in the morning!

I'm off to check Cooking Lake on Saturday (have a sail club meeting - not taking kites). Let's make sure we get together this winter Mukluk!

You Calgary-bound around Christmas again BR?

Mood: low winds here I come

Talked to the Mother-In-Law, apparently Campbell River got somewhere around 8inches in 3 hours....:eekdrull: Its the island though so I doubt it'll stay for too long. Suppose to feel like -30c here tomorrow. But it looks like the temps are to climb late next week. Lakes will need quite a while to get thick enough for this guy to feel safe on them. I just want lots of snow so I can get the new frenzy out for a test flight........lines still aren't even attached:no:
