We were hit by some heavy snow today. They said on the radio that there was a 60+ car pileup on the QE2 highway here.
Look up "Traffic officials investigating massive QE2 chain-reaction crash" on Google.
I know that Albertains are known to be horrible drivers but seriously?!?! How is it possible to get in a pile up like that? How can it happen unless there was zero visibility. I am glad I didn't buy a house up in Leduc. That town relies on that one highway to get to and from Edmonton.
I tell ya - this snow is not going to get the better of me. No need for an official snowblower - not this year. I had to take care of it my way. I live on a corner lot. It was like clearing out a caved in trench especially once I reached the corner. My walkway was just about completely covered over. I had to find it starting from the sidewalk. This backpack blower is just insane! Unbelievealbe on how much air force it gives out. I bought it today knowing that I would have to shovel it all out otherwise. I couldn't resist a sale. I wasn't up for 2-3 hours of shoveling. It took me a bit over an hour to clear out the double driveway, the entire sidewalks, along the side of the garage, house paths at the side of the house and that front walkway. I also did the two side neighbours as I have always done (except their driveways - not this time). I'm nice but not that nice.
Give me some time and I'll have my entire lot cleared of snow and then I can get some metal detecting done ahead of schedule. I am looking forward to MD'ing my place. There's treasure in them thar hills!
