Shovelling never seems to end and with the amount of snow we got in Collingwood, today is the first day to start digging the worst of it out. So far we have only been able to dig a walking path to the front door so that the postal carrier and other delivery services can get in. Fortunately I do not own a car anymore so shovelling a driveway to get out isn't necessary.
Today is the first day in days that it seems to be slowing down. The downtown and the Streets is a real mess. I read in the Enterprise Bulletin that the dump trucks hauled away and built a hills 35 feet high the length of a football field, not only one but two of them. The problem was the three foot banks going into stores that people had to climb to get into from cars, another reason why I'm happy I don't drive…
The crazy thing about some people is when police tell them to stay off the roads they mean it, but some don't listen making tow trucks and body shops busy. Wasaga Beach got it really bad also; it funny because not long ago Collingwood had most of the snow and the beach was spared. But it wasn't long until Mother Nature came along and hit Wasaga with a big dump of snow.
I hope this winter that these storms are the end of the worst of it and we get some sensible winter weather. It's bad when they close down a ski hill, because of the storm that getting bad. Usually the ski hills love the white stuff, but maybe not that much.
