lew Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 We haven't got any snow yet from this "weather system" but were getting losta freezing rain right now in the east end of Toronto and everything is getting coated, so it'll be a miserable drive for anyone on the roads this morning. Be careful this morning folks when you take that 1st step outside
SlowPoke Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 Same stuff west of the city too... especially bad near Guelph. It gets slightly better towards London. I hate getting wheel spin when I'm grossing 88,000 lbs. This would be a good day to stay at home... unless you need to go fishing. -Brian
motv8tr Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 Yikes, glad I'm not going to work today...I hate ice, I'll take loads of snow any day instead. Up here it's started to snow, pretty good to, sent three dark colored dogs out, and three white ones came back . We're only supposed to get 5-10cm in the course of the whole day though, so it'll ease up I'm sure. Be safe if you have to drive today, remember to give those in front of you lots of room. Maureen
brickNblock Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 Thanks for the inside track on the cons out your way folks. I went into semi-retirement last October and just this past week was asked to give a guy I know a hand completing the brick/stone on his house starting today.......out in Markham. Will not be making the drive at all........Not a chance. It starts to look a little better come wednesday according to the WN on the 'puter. For those who do drive today........have your wits about you please...it's not just your driving but the idiots near you who forget how to drive these cons, That, I find, the biggest problem.
Whopper Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Been raining here since last Thursday night. Not cold enough here to do anything else. It's 57F right now and tomorrows high is supposed around 29F that will make it interesting. Be safe out there. Whopper Edited January 15, 2007 by Whopper
silveradosheriff Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 Not fun out there this morning. Be careful all!
camillj Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 G'Mornin Lew Yeas I was just out shovelling the walk ... I actually enjoyed it ... guess its been too long since our last snow ... it was very slippery in Etobicoke ... please get the salt out guys and lets not have any broken ankles before the first shot at lakers and whities (I think we might just get what we've been asking for ) And be extra careful on the roads ... I know a small army of salters was getting ready last night but I can tell you the side streets are definitely a sheet of ice right now
pigeonfisher Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 I made it to work safely. Wasn't to bad, seems as though they got the salters out early!
xrap Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 WOW, ICEDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back to bed
Blake Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 Is bad out this morning lot's of ice on the vehicles
Harrison Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 2.5 hrs from Clarington to East York.
motv8tr Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 Glad you made it in safely Harrison, I've been watching the news and it seems lots of people aren't. Maureen
lunkerbasshunter Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 was suppose to have a meeting south of hamilton today. im not going anywhere! Going to work from home and enjoy some extra time with my son! Cheers!
Harrison Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 Sweet of ya Maureen, thanks. The only dolt I had to avoid was a 4x4 as he spun out on the 401.
bigbuck Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 An hour and 10 minutes from North Oakville to Yorkdale Mall. Not too bad but it's slippery out there. I'll second the motion on tossing out a lot of salt on the roads and sidewalks/driveways. I'm gonna stop to pick some up on the way home today, the snowblower is ready to go but I'm not sure if I'll be needing it.
Mike the Pike Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 Its snowing here in Montreal we are expecting 10 to 15cms.Finally my kids will have some snow to play in .minus 14 tonight bring on the ice.Mike
hawkeye Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 40 minute commute turned out to be about an hour. Keswick to Richmond Hill. Stayed off the 404 but it didn't look to bad. Snow in Keswick, freezing rain in Richmond Hill. I'm not looking forward to the trip home
BFSC Kevin Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 took me a nice 10 mins to scrape all the ice off the car with the heater on max.. have fun for you guys out there!
lew Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Posted January 15, 2007 The only dolt I had to avoid was a 4x4 as he spun out on the 401. I hate to admit it, but I often get a chuckle when I see the 4 X 4's in the ditch and the "dolt" standing in a snowdrift, scratching his head wonderin what just happened Some of these 4 X 4 guys figure their invincible and have no need to slow down like everyone else when the road conditions go down the drain.
troutologist Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 I was surprised to find the university closed after I walked there and doors were locked. That revelation made today a lure making day by default.
urbanangler1990 Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 WOW, ICEDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back to bed ur sooo lucky i heard Hamilton got a power outage and all, whats goin on over there? Well im off to skool
Raf Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 It's not so bad?? Not sure what all the hoopla is about? I'm not that old and this was par for the course when I was a kid. It's winter in Canada afterall. This is minor.
Joey Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 It's not too bad, but it did take me 3/4 of an hour to get the 4.9 kms it is to my work, and now there's nobody here!!! Joey
