Looks Like Winter's Never Gonna Leave This Gray Town

... I think it's gonna snow all summerrrrrrrrrr.

Yikes. What a weekend! My husband and I were off to a wedding in Montreal for Saturday (he was a guest ... I was a guest and helped out a bit). Looking ahead to the forecast we decided to close up shop a bit early on Friday and leave in the afternoon. Good thing we did because we were safe and sound before the snow hit. The rest of the weekend was a challenge though! I have many stories but I thought I would share a few pics of the day first ...

The church after the ceremony ... doesn't look *too* bad ...


My husband would disagree ...



After the wedding, these are my boots once I got in the house. The snow accumulated from 5pm-1am was actually knee-deep. Needless to say, boots did nothing ... especially when you're wearing a dress.


The next day my husband & friend had to dig like mad to get us out of the driveway. Plows had come by a few times during the night and built up a huge wall behind our car. If we had no where to go we wouldn't have cared but we had to make it back to Ontario!


This is how much digging they had to do for the walk-way alone ...


And to give you a sense of how much snow there is in Montreal, this is me standing in front of one of the snow banks. They're actually over six feet at this point!


I'll be updating on the actual wedding soon but really this was the story of the weekend. Am I ever glad it's over!!!
