From a practical point of view, I like driving on country highways in a blizzard a whole lot more than driving in the city in the same conditions. The Durango just blazes along!!

Santa on the Anchor D ranch west of Turner Valley yesterday . . . wheels instead of skis . . . for the second year in a row. How many times have we had two brown Christmases in a row?

We got 3 feet overnight here in London a few weeks back. It shut the city down. If you went 20 minutes in most directions though they only got about 3 inches. If I could attach images I would show you some pics.

I gotta drive to Radium at 5 tonight. Should be an interesting one. I was hoping to beat my record of 2 hrs and 10 minutes from COP to Radium. Doesn't look like I'll be making an attempt today.

Roads and driveways are sheer ice here. Snow is just starting to fall.

My parents were heading out there this morning for a 2 day holiday but turned around at the Sunshine turnoff and spent the day in Banff. They were saying the roads are really bad and cars in the ditch.

At least I won't be working this week, so I don't have to worry about the idiots out there. Plus, I can put the winter tires on my Subaru to good use now.

it took my parents 6 hours to drive up to Edmonton today. I have to drive up to Sylvan on Friday - hopefully the roads are a little bit better by that point.
