Sure is a strange winter when you get that and when it stays.....Glenda have you got winter tires on your vehicle now? Even those that don't do ice and snow seem to be getting it: http://www.weathernetwork.ca/features/camweather/displaycams...

There was less than a week between taking the above pics......the sun dog one was taken by Herbert/Waldeck (near Swift Current). You can tell how little snow there is because, in the above pic, the start of the blizzard is right behind DH's car (look at the highway) and in front of the sun.

Moose Jaw does have more snow than those pics show (will try to take some) but from the Alberta border to here it is very, very, very sparse. By the time it reached here it did have some new snow in it. The further east the storm went the more new snow so our farm (Briercrest) and Regina, etc. did receive more than the South east corner of the province.

Here's a map of how Canada fared, temperature departures from normal,Jan to Dec inclusive, in 2006.
