It’s going to snow all weekend?

We’ve had a lot of snow here in Toronto this week. I think we ended up getting close to 20 inches of snow. This is on top of all the snow we got the Friday before!

As you can see the snow was so heavy that it caused one of my plant stands to topple over in the garden.

Normally I take the planters off the plant stand in the late fall, but I didn’t this year and this will serve as a good reminder as to why I should always take the planters down in the autumn. Look at that. The pole was anchored in the ground yet it still fell over!

We’re going to have more snow today and tomorrow and then again on Tuesday! I have no idea where we’ll put all the snow. My front lawn is tiny. It’s only about 10 feet long by 7 or 8 feet wide and the snow pile on the lawn is already as high as the car!

I think my back will break if I’ve got to shovel more snow … especially if I have to throw it five or six feet to get it on top of the pile on the lawn.

Please visit two of my other blogs that are participating in the Photo Hunt – We’ve had a lot of snow this week here in Toronto and if you want to see just how much please visit My World. You can also see what my puppy finds heavy over at Tricia’s Musings.

    I’m sooo glad that we don’t have this kind of snow – as a fact we don’t have any snow at all at the moment! Maybe you got our snow too? *giggles*

    We have had the same type of winter in Utah, and yea, where do you shovel that snow when it is taller than you are on the sides of the driveway?? Yesterday we saw a moose tromping thru our yard.

    Arrgh – no more snow please. Heavy is right – it’s weighing down my spirit. Spring seems an eternity away.
