I parked the van in the parking lot at midnight and you can see the amount of snow on it the following morning (above). Yorkton was busy digging out of the downfall and it was still snowing when I headed off down the Yellowhead around ten in the morning (above). Most of the road was clear like this though visibility was often limited. Traffic however, moved along nicely and it was a safe trip over to Neepawa for lunch and I was in Winnipeg at 4:00. |

If Winnipeg could only have as good a response to police emergencies as it does to snowfall the place would be a much more civilised community. During the week driving around the city I saw three wrecks and of those only one was being attended to by police in most cases the wreckage just stayed strewn over the road and the victims to fend for themselves. |

The task completed and the house liveable and I was able to mount up and head home yesterday. The trip back home was uneventful as only some light snow marred the trip and I was home by six thirty. |
