snow banks as tall as my head

I am finally back at home. After two weeks of holidays, some out of town (but within the provice) work and a week covering some staff shortages in Calgary, it is good to be back. I got to sleep in my own bed now 2 nights in a row! Don't get me wrong, it was nice to get a change of scenery and meet the people I talk to on the phone all the time but I really like my bed too. Especially my down-filled duvet. And would you believe it but I returned to like 2 feet of snow and it snowed another foot or so the day I got home! We even got second place in the Weather Network's quiz "Who got the most snow in Canada?" Prince Albert won - but good for them. 2nd ain't that bad. My grandpa phoned me tonight and was saying stuff about how too bad it was that we got so much snow. I was thrilled though. I mean, I did not like driving or getting stuck in it, but I totally love lots of snow. It's beautiful out there. Some drifts and snow banks are up to my head. Excellent.

To make use of said snow, I might go cross country skiing in about 10 minutes too so I should go and put on my snow pants. I am kind of sad because my old snow pants were too big for me so I gave them away and bought new ones. And I do not like my new ones as much. Sigh. But maybe that is because I just have not made friends with them yet. Only time and lots of snow will tell.
