Snow is money. We've been blessed and it a long haul until late Feb early March when it really snows.

Floods in Maple Creek come spring.

Yeah, enough at this point, for a while.

The height of the side streets with packed snow/ice is higher than the sidewalks in my neighbourhood.
City left a massive berm on the school side of the street. It's going to have to be blown and trucked off. It's a first responder issue if on the school side. Everyone is home Sunday morning so no empty parking spots to grade onto residents side. They'll probably run the giant snowblower at 3 or 4 AM tomorrow or the next.

Bring your snowmobile to NW Ontario. Conditions are just right.
I gave up sledding a few years ago. It's not nice on the spine. 150kmh on a lake is wild.

E. Sask has a fantastic trail system. 1700km of connected, groomed and marked trails. You need license plates and sometimes local permits to ride the trails or anywhere off private land. Fines are heavy and RCMP on sleds take the fun out of bar to bar poker derbys and the likes.
