Saturday Snapshot—when a shovel wasn’t enough to clear the snow

Posted on by

I grew up on a farm in southwestern Ontario. In winter we had plenty of snow. Banks of it in our yard, in the lane and along the road– and a long laneway to the road. Here’s my father blowing snow using the tractor and snow blower. There was no warm cab to sit in.

At Home With Books, a snapshot taken by you or a family member. Go on over to see more pictures in other places.

Saturday Snapshot—when a shovel wasn’t enough to clear the snow — No Comments

  1. What a great picture! I spent a good part of my childhood in Ottawa and I seem to remember winters being a lot colder than now.

  2. We still get some cold days, Trish, but not as much snow as I remember. Unless you were to go further north. Thanks for stopping by.

  4. See, I have a hard time even imagining that kind of cold. We just don’t get it in our area. I think it looks even colder in black and white. LOL

    • People farther north than we are experience even deeper cold, but I didn’t know it then and we dressed for the weather in snowsuits, lined jeans, layers, and warm hats, scarves and mittens.

    • As I mentioned to Kay, we thought too it was cold. When he was done blowing out the lane, he came into the house for a hot drink and to warm up.

  7. Nice photo! Our tractor/snowblower doesn’t have a warm cab either, but it’s still better than shoveling. 😉

    • The lane would have been too much to shovel, unlike a short driveway in town.
      I don’t remember Dad ever complaining about the task, but then he liked hockey and skating, including in the outdoors. Bitter days were worse, I’m sure.

      Thanks for stopping by, Marie.
