Old Man Winter clearly has an appreciation for karma.
Last year the Athabasca area enjoyed (or didnít, depending on your preference) a relatively light winter. It was so light, in fact, that the annual Athabasca Loppet was cancelled due to a lack of snow.
No such problems this year, as the event went off without a hitch on Saturday.
No, this year we are getting absolutely hammered with snow, cold air and icy walkways and roads.
There have seldom been breaks for the snow shovelers and winter drivers among us.
As reports of poor conditions and collisions continue to pile up, all we can do is be prepared, be smart and be safe.
