snow - or as canadians love to say - "the white stuff"

 After enjoying so many winter months without snow,
it was a bit of a shock to have several rather significant storms 
seemingly out of the blue.
 The one that caused the most impressive change in the landscape
came in last Friday afternoon while I was teaching in Steinbach.
 My usual 20 minute commute became 45
as the roads were glare ice and visibility was rather reduced.
This car was sitting in just the right spot to collect enough drifting 
to almost bury it completely.
By today much more of it was showing as the temps continue to be mild.
Now our "unusually" mild daytime temperatures have become normal
for this time of the year, and we join in with Canadian Tire in saying something like...
"Spring - bring it on".
