Bumper year for snow

The snow this year has been phenomenal. It looked as if it would be a late start to the season but then come mid-December the snow started to fall and pretty much didn't stop. Blue skies have been few and far between and the heavy snowfalls have hit the news as record amounts fall. It is easy to see why this area earned the name "Snow Country" and the mind boggles at what life must have been like back in the day with out all our modern conveniences. Even with giant snowplough, snow blowers and heat mats daily life can be a bit of a struggle in a big snow winter.

Cold drink anyone? If you can get to the vending machine...
