Here it comes! There is a bright, red band across the EC website that reads 'Heavy Snowfall Warning'; expect 10-15cms. That will give us some much needed moisture and a little taste of winter driving again.
I was curious to see what this date was like in years past so I went through the archive of photos that I have collected. A heavy snow has fallen at this time of year for the past few years.

On March 21, 2013 the snow created icy conditions on the Yellowhead Highway, west of the Elk Island Park gate. Semi-trucks littered the ditch. When all was said and done on March 20, 2015 there was more than 15cms on my deck.

The roots of my strawberry plants will be doing a little happy dance with the addition of this moisture. They are greening up nicely in their bed.

The perennials that are growing along the south side of my house will welcome the snow. I've had to water them but there is nothing like the natural moisture of rain or snow.

I hope it doesn't melt off too quickly. The hares in the area are still white. Easter is this coming weekend and the Easter Bunny needs some camouflage.
