Severe Weather Warning in Effect or HELP somebody get me out of here

Yes this is what the first full day of Spring looks like here in Edmonton. We had been told to expect snow but I am sure this is not what the meterological experts were expecting. I took this shot today at work. I set my camera on a metal post near the shipping door set the timer and here is the result. This is sooc no editing at all.
When the wind and snow finally slowed down we had close to a foot of snow that came down.
So I have decided that if there is a nice family living in a warm climate that would like to adopt a really nice middle aged couple please let us know. We are getting desperate :)
Oh well there is always tomorrow
Oh no! You have completely lost your face! My son's moving out...we have an extra room if you want to warm up by the pool for a bit!

Your head has got frostbite and is probably rolling down that snowy hill there!
March 22nd, 2013  
Cool shot
March 22nd, 2013  
wow, that's crazy!! send a little of that snow my way! I've been snow deprived all winter! :)
March 22nd, 2013  
Here we are in warm southern Richmond, VA and we had snow flurries today! Must be that Global Warming we hear so much about!
March 22nd, 2013  
White out!
March 22nd, 2013  
We are wet here in Washington, so it would be a tradeoff.
March 22nd, 2013  
It looks cold and snowy, at least here it is only cold :)
March 22nd, 2013  
Brrrr....that's a lot of snow! Cool shot!
March 22nd, 2013  
It's a crazy spring for sure. This photo best captures our snow & "white-out" conditions - it made me laugh ;)
March 22nd, 2013  
Nice spring weather we're having eh? Definitely white out conditions lol..
March 22nd, 2013  
rofl....the weather man was gentle in his predictions....and way off! Lots more accumulation than said down here too.
March 22nd, 2013  
nicely captured
March 22nd, 2013  
well, all day it's been blowing snow around here. the good thing was that it wasn't cold enough to stay on the ground, but there's a bitter wind so that by night fall, the wet ground has turned into an ice rink. nice, eh? i'm actually snowed out and wintered out already i need to go to an island where i can sit by the water and sip some mai tai!
March 22nd, 2013  
Introducing the almost invisisble man LOL brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
March 22nd, 2013  
Wow. Lovely spring weather !
March 22nd, 2013  
Nice one. Cool - literally!
March 22nd, 2013  
C'mon down y'all to sunny Florida. We will consider adopting you :-))) Love this clever shot, Brian. Made me smile.
March 22nd, 2013  
Come over to Texas. It snows only once or twice a year, may be. Very clever shot. Hoping spring,the real one, for you soon.
March 22nd, 2013  
Hysterical story!!!!! Great pic....come live with me!!!! Sandstorm and a gale today!!!
March 22nd, 2013  
cool shot...snow blind here also!
March 22nd, 2013  
Mine too! Yuck, more snow!
March 22nd, 2013  
I know the feeling Brian! lol I'm ready to give up on Spring and move right into summer!
March 22nd, 2013  
Chuckling because it's "Spring" here too. Walked out to almost 6 inches this morning.
March 22nd, 2013  
Looks like you've had an even worse start to spring than we have! - we had snow forecast for today but none has fallen yet, but many places around are badly affected.

Ian
March 22nd, 2013  
Wow and I thought we had it bad with the snow, amazing shot
March 22nd, 2013  
Freezing here too
March 22nd, 2013  
Kim
LOL - your title and story gave a well needed laugh! Happy Spring! It looks like a white-out.
March 22nd, 2013  
Oh my, excellent capture. Sure doesn't look like spring. No spring here either but also only snow flurries.
March 22nd, 2013  
Looks horrible. Are you OK? This morning Edmonton was on the news on the radio because of the weather and a super crash on the highway because you couldn't look further than a few inches from the windscreen.
March 22nd, 2013  
Oh such a clever shot - I relate to what you say it is so cold - I wish spring would hurry up and get here! Winter always does
March 22nd, 2013  
O my, hope you all are okay, that is weather worth warning for...The shot says it all.
March 22nd, 2013  
Brrr... Cool shot!
March 22nd, 2013  
Ha, creative use of overexposure! No luck here, Wisconsin still has a bit of snow on the ground too.
March 23rd, 2013  
@thresheg Definitely not quite what I have in mind for spring
March 23rd, 2013  
@netkonnexion Thank you
March 23rd, 2013  
@cimes1 Glad it made you smile and since Florida is one place we have never been to there would so much to see for the first time:))))
March 23rd, 2013  
@smithak Thank you. And since We have never been to Texas it would be nice to see some new sights
March 23rd, 2013  
@ruthmouch Glad you enjoyed the story. Not so sure about sandstorms vs snowstorms but what I have seen of your country is so beautiful it would be wonderful to come and see it in person
March 23rd, 2013  
@cindyrez Glad you like the shot I guess I will have to keep on searching
March 23rd, 2013  
@sabanford I just took a look at your shot. We are certainly in the same boat
March 23rd, 2013  
@olivetreeann I think by the time all of our snow melts it will be summer :)
March 23rd, 2013  
@janets Just saw your shot and it looks like we are certainly in the same boat
March 23rd, 2013  
@fishers It has been a tough couple of weeks weather wise. I guess it can only get better
March 23rd, 2013  
@claireuk Thanks Claire
March 23rd, 2013  
@johnnyfrs Okay so I guess I will stay away from there for awhile
March 23rd, 2013  
@kimshots Glad it made you laugh
March 23rd, 2013  
@mittens Okay then so my search continues
March 23rd, 2013  
@hjv We came out of the storm just fine. The crash was quite horrific involving close to 100 vehicles and over 300 injured and unfortunately 3 people were killed
March 23rd, 2013  
@Thanks Kathy. I know spring will eventually get here
March 23rd, 2013  
@pum71 We weathered the storm just fine thanks hehe
March 23rd, 2013  
@nanderson Glad you like this one
March 23rd, 2013  
@archaeofrog Okay then my search will have to continue
March 23rd, 2013  
@danette That sounds like a wonderful offer :)
March 23rd, 2013  
Wow! Really neat photo! Looks so cold!
March 23rd, 2013  
@maggiemae That hill is all of the snow I had to shovel during the day :(
March 23rd, 2013  
@kerristephens Thanks Kerri
March 23rd, 2013  
@jessca646 I will see what I can do as we certainly have more than our fair share of it
March 23rd, 2013  
@allie912 I think you may be on to something there Allison
March 23rd, 2013  
March 23rd, 2013  
@byrdlip Right about now I am thinking I would not mind making that trade
March 23rd, 2013  
get your head out of the clouds! haha
March 23rd, 2013  
@hjbenson The cold is easier to take than to much snow
March 23rd, 2013  
@melody2289 thanks Melody
March 23rd, 2013  
@glenda_b Glad you got a laugh out of it
March 23rd, 2013  
@newbie Definitely
March 23rd, 2013  
@lynnb hopefully the weather man will start predicting some nice suny and warm days
March 23rd, 2013  
@jnadonza Thanks Jeff
March 23rd, 2013  
@summerfield That sounds like a perfect plan
March 23rd, 2013  
@http365proj Thanks Shirley
March 23rd, 2013  
What a funny shot, Brian! It's great that you have such a good sense of humor about it. How's that adoption thing going??
March 23rd, 2013  
@bkbinthecity Not a trade, I have 15 acres and I'm sure there is a spot for you, if you have an RV or trailer.
March 23rd, 2013  
Wow! This is a great picture! I haven't had as much snow as you had, and I'm sick of it too.
March 23rd, 2013  
gosh , that's really white.
March 23rd, 2013  
Now, THAT'S a white-out! Sorry for your suffering, but doesn't it make life more interesting? (I say from my warm, sunny climate)
March 23rd, 2013  
excellent high key snow shot
March 23rd, 2013  
@vickisfotos I will try :)
March 24th, 2013  
@cathieg Well in situations like this one needs a sense of humor. I am not quite sure what adoption thing you are talking about?
March 24th, 2013  
@mrssmith Thanks Carla
March 24th, 2013  
@june It was quite the storm we had
March 24th, 2013  
@ellen Yes it does make life interesting for sure
March 24th, 2013  
@sparkle Thanks Juliette
March 24th, 2013  
First full day of Spring should be sunny and warm and not like what you show. we had to spend the day inside a mall instead of last year at the Botanical Garden in Toronto for our Birthday outing.
March 26th, 2013  
Brrrr.... welcome Spring!
March 27th, 2013  
@bruni There was hardly any snow this time last year
March 27th, 2013  
@kalexa Spring not quite
March 27th, 2013  
Tim
Ha ha Fantastic shot. Roll on summer.
March 27th, 2013  
@timrox I can't wait
March 28th, 2013  
A white out! Nice high key photo. Hope spring comes to Edmonton soon.... When it's summer and those of us in the southern U.S. are about to melt, you'll be comfortable!
April 2nd, 2013  
@eudora Well Diane spring is definitely on its way now as we have had some wonderful warm weather for the last week and a half. There are a lot of places where we can see the grass
