Edmonton
We arrived around midnight and it was cold. We woke up the next morning to find a thin film of white on the lawn. It had snowed overnight though it was only mid October.
Winter 2012 had come early and there were a couple of snow storms during the next week or two ... perfect for us.
En Route to Drumheller
Sis Tessie and her husband, Andrew took us out on a long day trip to Drumheller to visit the world famous Royal Tyrrell Museum.
It had snowed heavily the night and we saw many winter scenes which we wouldn't ordinarily have seen.

Spooky Halloween Snowman
Below is a clip of me trying in vain to build my first snowman. Unfortunately the snow was too dry to do so and I had to settle for a spooky Halloween snowman instead.Early Winter 2012 in Edmonton
We
left in the wee hours of November 1st for Singapore. We had to clear
the driveway the day before. It had been a FABULOUS 2 weeks simply
because my prayers were answered and I got to experience what it was
like living up north during winter although it was only late October.

of her travel clothes during one of the snow storms for her first cousin
with whom we were staying.
 Making her FIRST Snow Angel
I had an unforgettable day en route. We passed a roadside picnic area which looked like a postcard winter scene and stopped to soak in the ambience. I had been to many snow-covered mountains including the Swiss Alps for vacation but this was my first encounter with virgin snow freshly fallen. I excitedly laid on the snow to make my very first snow angel. !!! Unbelievable Dinosaur Exhibits Halloween 2012
