Royd.. we Americans are a resistant group...NO METRIC HERE! :lol: so, in "real" measurement terms.... that is only like 16"...... so saying 40cm I think is trying to make it sound like a lot to us south of you! :plbb

For crying out loud... you live in Canada what do you expect! :p

Yes I live in the easy part of Canada and I expect a harsh winter - Today is harsh for the first time in 5 years thanks to Texas and I'm thrilled at moving 3 feet of snow, I'm thrilled at trying to feed pigs outside in 36 inches of snow, I'm thrilled at the fact we had not one single customer in the store due to 90cm of snow, I'm also thrilled to inform you my dearest buddy Southern ITS STILL SNOWING LIKE A SNOWSTORM - TheTexas low has gone past but for good measure we are now getting lake snow So yes I moved to Canada expecting harsh winters and never complained in my first post
Looks like the weatherman got it wrong with his 40 cm prediction for here and the Eastern US is having a dose of it so that little raincloud in Texas grew into a beast

:lol: Actually I am a bit envious... there is something very cool about a huge snowstorm! I remember the big one that hit in the 70's well actually we had 2 in the 70's and a big one in the 80's when I lived up North! It was so much fun! My kids would love 2 ft of snow, maybe not 3-3 1/2 though. I think if that happened here in NC I would be having #10.... so it's good I'm Southern now! ;)
Maybe you can snap some pics for me! I hate the cold but I do love the snow especially when you have awesome family around you and you can get all excited and go out at midnight and play all night long then come in for cocoa, warm cookies, sit by the fire and just chill! Nothing like it! Something special about being snowed-in for a few days. :)

Having animals has made my hate snow. Snow means cold and cold means alot of extra works and cold temps and it's hard on the animals. Glad I live where it doesn't snow. :)

So the storm came and went - no sales at the store and nobody could have drove in those conditiond well not for bacon and eggs.
All the animals are fine and why not - They deal with it way better than us humans - so got the camara out - check out the cheeky Chantecler chicken with the LB piglets lol
As it makes its way accross to New York then I feel very sad as those guys are still cleaning up from Sandy
Heres some pics
