You guys are lucky, down in Lethbridge(south of Red Deer and Edmonton) we got about 2 ft of snow and my Monte is buried. It's been -38 C every morning this week, with a windchill making it -45 C. The drifts were so bad that my grandpa's suburban and our hutterite van got stuck :|

I'm from Des Moines, Iowa and here are some pics of the snow that just rolled through yesterday. I just got her out about an hour ago.

(sorry i dont really know anyones actual names lol)

Ist not that bad man, you have no idea how entertaining it can be to watch 90% of the drivers turn into complete morons when the first snow hits the ground, every one goes at max throttle and just sits there while the tires spins... and the joy of hearing everyone cry about "oh i knew i should of put my winter tires on" ITS DECEMBER! you should of had them on a month ago lol

Jesus christ! 2'?! as much fun as it can be, it is as much of a pain in the a**... I didnt realize theres was at least 3 people from Alberta on here, this is great!

BTW, i worked in your City last summer, beautiful place.. me and my gf agreed that if we can some day transfer to lethbridge (both work at the same company, and we have an office out there too) that we will, loved it there!

Wow, that's a heck of alot of snow!
I guess its normal in those regions, but if it snow like that here, everything would shut down for alteast a week!

Not sure quite how much snow we got.. think it was 20-25cm, the wind was blowing hard all day too, luckily i sat at home most of the day and didnt drive all weekend lol. That would suck to have to drive in edmonton with that much snow, people in red deer suck at driving. i put my winter tires on in the middle of october lol. I didnt realize that there were people in edmonton and lethbridge.. thought i was the only one from alberta lol

Love it and I am jealous. Wish we would get snow like that here. I could get the suburban out and blow through snow drifts.
