Yes, that's my beamer buried in snow even after clearing it off about 15 times. It hasn't moved in days. They say the Inuit have many words for "snow" and I'm sure we've seen them all these past few days. Powder, pellets, crystals, flakes, dry, wet, snow mixed with rain, rain mixed with snow, blowing snow, driving snow, driving me insane! Aaahhh!!! This is a warning that the next person who says "hey, you're from Nova Scotia, you must be used to this" is going DOWN. I've shovelled as much snow in the past 15 days as I would have shovelled in total in the 15 years since I left Nova Scotia.
This is a sad chronology of Boxing Day.
