| The comment on the advertising sign reads "Soon the Snow will be here"
and goes on to advertise a pre-winterizing special. At first look one would think
that on December 31 this sign is a bit ironic and needs to be changed but while in
Regina last week we saw at least two similar signs urging motorists to get their
cars ready for the coming winter. It seems that we are getting accustomed to delays
in the arrival of winter although today's -31 temperatures certainly suggest that
winter is definitely here. Snow cover around Tisdale is very thin and those folks
who live to ride their snow machines are having to cool their heels. On the right
is the golf course and the trees have caught some of the blow but the cross country
ski trail has very little snow on it, as you can see it has been in use. The picture
below looking East from town toward Harvest Valley indicates the conditions out in
the countryside. The wind has drifted snow into the ditches but the ground is all
but bare. |
