Impending Storm

I hear that southern Manitoba/Saskatchewan is due for a storm.  Hopefully you don't end up looking anything like up here, your flood watch couldn't handle it.
This is not some random shot of a big pile of snow.  This is a shot of Fran on the "dead man's curve" section of the highway up to the airport.  You can tell from the date stamp, that this is one of the shots that I took yesterday (the first day of spring).  It's about a 500 metre stretch around a corner, that is patrolled by a loader, pretty much 24/7 (the high winds keep the snow drifting nonstop) to make sure that emergency vehicles can still have access to the airport.  Without emergency vehicle access, the airport wouldn't be allowed to operate.
Unrelated - is it just me, or are they seriously limiting the amount of speaking time that Steven Tyler is getting on American Idol?  It's too bad... he's the only person bringing any colour to the table.  Without him, it's all vanilla.  Boring!
200 hits in the last three weeks!  It's so unpredictable.  I can go days without any, and then have it all come piling in at once.  Sometimes it's on the weekend, the next time it's on Tuesday.  No patterns, no rhyme or reason.  Anyway, thanks for tuning in!

The end.
