Yup, Elliiot Lake was like that, I remember the day the garbage truck went back to Blind River because they couldn't get up the hills into Elliot Lake so we had to put the bins in the shed away from the ravens, lucky the bears were asleep eh.

Woke up to a new present one morning, somone up there wanted me to have a heart attack I reckon.



We had some empty land across fom our houses and one of my neighbors decided to build an extension.

You have to move your houses a little farther apart so you have room to toss it.

Ha, actually I don't live in Ellot Lake anymore but when I did Bob and I were about 3 days apart LOL

That is one vood thing about where I live. Sure, we get snow. Sometimes a lot of it. But it only stays around for a few days and its gone. The sun is powerful at this altitude I was told. Plus we get warm days to help knock it down. They are saying below 0 in a couple days and with wind it gets really ugly quick.

Well, I'm at 5600 feet and if you are south facing the snow melts fast. If you are north facing it can stick around for a week or more even though the temp is pushing 60 today.

We are supposed to get 7-14" in the next couple days, will see.
Last good snow was in December. I drove home to this, snow plow just pushed everything in my driveway, you can see where the snow sticks are.

Had to switch to 4Lo and locked the rear diff. It worked.

Maybe silly and off topic but I don't see any mailboxes. How to you get your mail? At a group of boxes at the end of the street or the post office? Maybe its hidden in the snow but it looks like people don't shovel/use their front doors either.

I am not looking forward to the drive to work tomorrow morning. If the weather girl is half right it will be a slow one in 4WD.

I have heard rumors of snow, maybe Wednesday. We had 3 inches weeks ago, we were shut down for days

I would expect that to happen in areas where snow is a rare occurrence. Here snow is an too regular occurrence and they have the equipment to handle it most of the time. In my part of Ontario we still get highway closures on the really heavy snows and it has gotten more frequent since the province privatised/contracted out that work.
