We have had huge snowfalls this week here in Alberta ... Calgary, where I live, has been particularly heavy ... this is my back deck and yard right now   |

Wow. I think I would have to crawl into my bed and hide until it all melted. That's just depressing.

Holy moly! That's gorgeous; I wouldn't mind trading for a while. Here is it is 85 'feels like 95 degrees'.

I loooove snow. Snow is so beautiful and this is exactly how I like mine...pictured on someone else's internet board or facebook. Kidding aside, sorry that y'all are having to deal with this so early on and I hope your winter is milder than is being predicted.

Wow. I think I would have to crawl into my bed and hide until it all melted. That's just depressing. Pretty much my thought as well. While it's beautiful, I couldn't handle that in September...January? Well, that's more acceptable. |

Fun! I'm holding onto every last drop of summer, but this looks inviting. We rarely get pretty snow.

I think it's gorgeous. Is this normal or is this early? I wonder what type of winter we are in for now?

I had to stop whining about our high temps when a Calgary friend posted her backyard on FB. Hope the temps swing back the other way quickly.

ugh. We left Monday morning just after it started. We're coming back home today. No winter tires. I hope the highway isn't too icy. I also hope my roof held up. It was trashed by the hailstorm last month. And this looks like really wet, heavy snow. My neighbour, who has a key, is headed over to take a look in a bit, just to make sure there's no leaking from the roof.

It is early for that area to get that much. We're south of Calgary and we have a snowfall warning in effect today, and wouldn't you know it, my tween boys still went to school in shorts and a hoodie....freaks.  |

It is very heavy wet snow ... trees are in rough shape  Hope your house is OK! |

 I won't tell you how that compares to the weather here...holy moly oly. I wouldn't know what to do with all that snow. In fact, I don't think I even own the right clothes for that kind of weather.

You're right Leeanne - I do hate the way other people drive in the snow. I always say I don't mind driving in the snow, and I honestly don't, it's all the other crazies. But they do that here when it rains. Or when the sun shines after a rainy day. Or when the leaves change. Or when it's Tuesday.  |

Noooo, it's too soon. I am sorry, leannec. Surely, that scene is not normal even in Canada in September, is it? It seems like we just got rid of all that white stuff here in Minnesota a couple weeks ago.  |

I love it. I think it's beautiful, even though it's a bit early. The weather will change again soon. And that's okay.

Oh good heavens!!! My friend in Rocky Mountain House told me it snowed all day Monday and Tuesday, I'm sure her yard looks like yours.
And here on the westcoast we are in the mid 20's, Celsius that is.
