Of course there had to be a game of road hockey when a snow day is called!

Here (above) is a picture I took while travelling to Pincher Creek from Lundbreck around 11:30 am December 2.

There were three semis and a mini van all in the ditch just before reaching the Pincher Station turn off. The conditions were so bad that snow blindness was a factor and I had to travel behind a semi loaded with propane in a line of traffic that went 15 km's all the way from Cowley to Pincher turn off. I was glad that the semi slowed all the traffic down and kept everyone safe by doing so.

The bus got stuck...
