JohnF Posted December 16, 2007 Report 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
johnnyb Posted December 16, 2007 Report Posted December 16, 2007 The flight is cancelled and so is my white knuckle trip to Hamilton Airport -- woooohooo! Phase one of shovelling is complete and now it's time to take the rugrat tobogganing

Fisherman Posted December 16, 2007 Report 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.
Tybo Posted December 16, 2007 Report 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.

Mike the Pike Posted December 16, 2007 Report Posted December 16, 2007 Well, I shovelled all the snow outta my driveway, trouble is, now it's all on me Now I know where Bigfoot Lives We are just getting pounded here in Quebec I was out for 2 hours this afternoon round 1 with the snowblower 2 hrs later and it looks like I was never out there. I have to leave at 5:30 to take my daughter to soccer practice I thought for sure the coach would have cancelled but no we will be going Hey Joey can I borrow your new toy
Greencoachdog Posted December 16, 2007 Report Posted December 16, 2007 Well, I shovelled all the snow outta my driveway, trouble is, now it's all on me I've got a heavier jacket than that with a hood if you need to borrow one 'til Spring Lew!
motv8tr Posted December 17, 2007 Report 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
lew Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Posted December 17, 2007 I've got a heavier jacket than that with a hood if you need to borrow one 'til Spring Lew! Thanks for the offer Dawg, but I'm fine with my coat, but would you happen to have something to keep the icicles off my moustache
Rizzo Posted December 17, 2007 Report 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
Greencoachdog Posted December 17, 2007 Report Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks for the offer Dawg, but I'm fine with my coat, but would you happen to have something to keep the icicles off my moustache Funny you should mention it Lew, Granny just finished a brand new batch of the "Medicine"!... It'll melt them icicles from the inside out!
