So you think you've got it BAD(weather wise).........do you live here?

***this storm lasted less than 24 hours***

These photos were sent to me from our niece in Warman Sask., near Saskatoon. I would call this a storm of a lifetime, or the storm from hell.......UNREAL!!!!

Photos 1, 2, 3, &4 are Candace & Warren's neighbors, directly across the street!

1. Before

I believe this is taken from their neighbors backyard, beyond the gate is there driveway before the snow plow arrived!!


2. After

3.


4. Neighbor's backyard


5. Candace & Warren's fence..........WOW!!!!

6. Candace & Warren's backyard.


A few stats........from nearby Saskatoon!
Schools were keeping children overnight!!

Over 200 people were in Costco at closing, no one was allowed to leave.........yes Costco fed them all!

Our niece Amanda was at a conference(in a hotel) in Saskatoon(she lives in Saskatoon), and they couldn't go home.....the company booked everyone rooms!

No ambulance services........they couldn't get ANYWHERE! Wouldn't want to be 9 months pregnant and live in Saskatoon yesterday!!! Canadce and Warren are expecting in Feb. and she said if she would have went into labor, baby would have need born at home!!!!!

During the worst point of the storm Candace literally could not see even an image of the house across the street!!!!
