Its March and in spite of over 35 winters in northern Ontario I still want it to be spring. I know that you can’t rush it, that winter lasts until at least the end of March BUT enough already. As I write this early on March 2nd it is -27C! Last Thursday we got a real shot of snow, 15cm+ and Friday morning as I went to work it was blowing, cold and nasty. Of course it snowed Thursday night when I had to work Friday and Saturday. That meant that I had to drive through the snow four times before I could start to clean up the mess yesterday morning. Driving through fresh snow before you move it makes the job that much more unpleasant. This what it looked like before I started. 
That is our mailbox at the end of the driveway. This is the entrance to the driveway
It took me almost 3 hours yesterday and I haven’t opened the path to the red shed where I store recycling until spring and to the sauna where I may get warm again. There are a couple of spots where the snow blower won’t throw the snow over the bank any more. I am going to have to move some of that snow before it starts to melt. 
When I got finished I put out a pail of corn for the deer who were out of the trees and munching away before I got the house. I sat on the porch and watched them. The snow is deep and they are hungry. We are entering what is surely the toughest month of the year for them. I’m sure that there will be a couple of more storms before winter is over and we will deal with that but it should be spring!
