When I design and make items like "The view from the rim of the 20th century snowbowl was spectacular" it is not only fantasy in that snowmen are alive but that there is snow at all. When it snows here no on is prepared and no one can drive in it properly.
My brother lives in Dawson Creek up north and drives a truck for a living. He said that he wouldn’t drive in this snow. The snow tends to be wet and slippery like soapsuds. It is not fun to drive in. The snow outside right now is powdery. We are going for a snow walk later. As you can see when the landscape looks like a Christmas card it is a novelty in some areas in Canada. Have a Merry pre-Christmas.
