JohnF Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 401 Westbound at Kennedy Rd....all lanes closed!!! Be careful out there!!! Just cleared about 10" out of the drive but the drifts were deeper. It seems to have let up for now, still some drifting though. The wind is turning, I think. It was sorta southeast this morning which is rare for us. Normally it's out of the west. But it was tough figuring it out while I was blowing. Didn't seem to matter which way I aimed the chute it still blew it away, which I'm not complaining about. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Heck, just keep him busy, cut the snow shovel in half, he should be pretty much burned out by bedtime, no hanky or panky left in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybo Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Got called in this moring. Had to boost a machine. When I was bring the other machine to boost from. I went around the corner and the machine went into a slide. Nothing like having a 267 thousand pound sliding out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motv8tr Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Huh, is that you Lew??? I went to Toronto today, had a great time and got to see my little man While the roads weren't great, I didn't find them horrible, and had no problems with visibility other than when I got stuck behind the plow coming home Stopped at my friends on the way home and dropped off houses for her boys to decorate since they couldn't make it today. I'll leave cleaning my driveway out until tomorrow morning. Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Heavy drifting 200 yard visibilty We won't have visibility that good until april here in Barrie! Its still snowing here and at a good pace too. My guess is we're closing in on 40-50 cms. There were areas in my driveway that were in the 60 cm range already. Shoveled 3 times plus the neighbour took a run at 'er with his snowblower. I'm afraid what the morning will bring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
