And I mean a lot. As I write it is snowing lightly outside and the house across the street looks like it's frosted. The plough has just driven by trying to clear the roads, and this morning I watched someone turn into our street and drive (or rather slide) down it sideways before getting back on track.
It's exciting times! I had to dig our car out this morning because it got stuck. The good thing is that everyone drives really carefully, and because it's not too cold at the moment (only -4C) then the roads aren't too icy as far as I can tell. The snow is staying really powdery and soft. There is a lot of the stuff out there though. It is getting to a point for people that they shovel their driveways and they are running out of space to put the snow.

All along the streets and in the car parks of the stores there are huge mountains of snow - which are frustrating because you can't see around them when pulling out. We have been introduced in our time here to the marvelous invention that is the snow blower. You push it like a lawn mower and it scoops up the snow and throws it off to the side. Very cool.

| Calf-deep snow in some spots - even deeper in others! Very thankful for my furry snow boots! |
It was quite a nice, and relatively warm day on Sunday so Josh and I decided to go out for a walk and take some pictures for you all. :) Then last night (Tuesday) it started snowing again, and I think that we got another 6 inches at least. It has only just stopped this afternoon (Wednesday).

| The trees are really pretty. |
Notice the depth of the snow next to the path in the above photo? It's even deeper now.
 |
| Pathways have had to be chiseled out of the snow along the side of the road. |
 |
| I love how the snow sits on the trees. Looks like a Christmas card. |
The other day was clear and beautiful. We had sunshine which was really nice - and on my way to nanny at 7:30am the light was just amazing as the sun hit the snow. I didn't get any pictures in the morning, but we also had an amazing sunset - so took a couple of pictures then (when I wasn't driving - trying to be responsible) ;)

"O Lord our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth, who have set Your glory above the heavens!
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?"
~ Psalm 8: 1, 3-4 ~
