Winter in Canada/Ontario - what else can I say!
I actually like this winter better than the ones that are cold and drab with no snow. At least it's bright and sunny, and it looks so pretty.

Wow, my husband was watching show about surviving Alaska and saw a similar train trapped by snow. I feel for you, we've had trouble dealing with all our snow this winter but nothing like that. I guess the only benefit we are going to get is our winter will raise the great lakes level. Stay warm!

I have to say I agree with GEMRM. There has been none of that melting slush to dirty the whole scene. After that horrible disaster a few years ago when so many motorists were stranded on the highway between London and Stratford, I stay home whenever there is a warning. Oh My...... I haven't been out all winter. I rather like hibernating and looking out the window as the beautiful scene.

Boy, am i glad it's not just Northern Ontario that has been hit with lots of snow. We actually haven't had any for over a week (now I've gone & jinxed us) so it's given us a little much needed break. We had so much in our front yard that we hired a loader & truck to haul some of it away & the following 2 weeks the city did more snow removal & took more of it away. Hopefully this gives us room for more until the end of our very long winter. We will have snow until at least mid April. My dh & I are avid golfers so can't wait until the snow is gone. The small positive is that our winters give me lots of time for my other passion .....quilting.
I have to admit that on a snowy, sunny winters day, the scenery is beautiful.
