High winds and blowing snow.I cleared the driveway twice and its full again with drifts.Thank god i didnt wait till the last minute to change my tires. I hate winter in the burbs
splashhopper Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 ummm,,, yeah,, we have had close to 80 cm since noon yesterday here in London. Weather is forecast for 30-40 more tonight and another 30-40 tomorrow!
mercman Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Posted December 7, 2010 Don't i feel silly now.15 is like a drop in the bucket i guess. I'll get the St Bernard out,just keep your head above the drifts Ron.

skeeter Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 we got snow here in scarborough time to go give the sled a hug!!!!!
irishfield Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 Yah Dan... I think I'll go embrace mine tomorrow as well, before I head for Toronto again..
icefisherman Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 Snow? What snow? Are you guys talking about couple years ago? Haven't seen much of the white stuff for years on the west side of the GTA...not a trace right now.... So may have to come visit you for a picture...with the snow that is Cheers, Ice Fisherman
mercman Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Posted December 7, 2010 we got snow here in scarborough time to go give the sled a hug!!!!! make sure your lips dont stick to the exhaust pipe.......... rackin frackin snow lovers
Dutchy Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 I'll get the St Bernard out,just keep your head above the drifts Ron. That won't save him. I am surprised Ron could even get out the front door of his house. They closed Western today it is so bad, cancelled all classes and exams. I have been calling my family in Scotland a bunch of whiners because of the unusual artic weather they have been getting. This is what you call Karma: And its still snowing.......... I wanted to go fishing again on thursday, but not looking likely.
douG Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 Massive amounts of snow for London and Kitchener, brutal. This northerly flow rivals the westerlies that hammered Buffalo last week. GB and Lake Huron are still in the high single digits and these cold winds over warm water mean lots of shovel action downwind. South of Pearson airport, we got an inch over the last 24 hours. No call for the army yet. The bananas are still doing fine.
Twocoda Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 it started snowing here last thursday and it hasnt let up as of yet... the lake is ferocious with the winds and "white wall" a quarter of a mile off land....this snow came in hard and fast... Bring on the last saturday of April for more then the obvious reasons
Spiel Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 Hmmmmm, still not a flake to be seen here in Hamitlon.
solopaddler Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 Hmmmmm, still not a flake to be seen here in Hamitlon. Actually bud it hasn't stopped snowing here at the airport in over 24 hours. It's so light though you have to go outside and put your hand up against a streetlight to see it. Just a trace so far. The rest of you guys can keep it.
highdrifter Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 OOOHH WEEEE Stop the presses.. C'mon eh?!?! Seriously..

mercman Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Posted December 7, 2010 gonna be a fun drive to work today.thanks to AWD we should make it boat looks lonely in the yard.Maybe i'll go caress it a bit before work
lew Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 With the exception of 3-4" we got last week here in the Kawarthas, we've totally dodged the bullet so far this winter. The snowblower is sitting in the garage collecting cobwebs but I can't imagine that'll last too much longer.

Roy Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 I powered up Bertha this morning and cleaned the driveway. Driveways are so much larger without snow eh? Everyone in the neighbourhood has a snow removal service. I'm the only poor dood who does his own. Kinda nice being self sufficient though cause the snow removal services are jammed and lots of driveways are still socked in.
jediangler Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) We got a dusting last night here in Kitchener, just enough accumulation to cover the grass. Edited December 7, 2010 by jediangler

But ya have to admit, it really feels like Christmas now.
OhioFisherman Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 Schools are closed here, 8-10 inches of snow on the ground and 3-5 more expected. Got to love them Canadian cold fronts and lake effect snow.

Got to love them Canadian cold fronts and lake effect snow. Sorry Dude. The cold sometimes gets away on us.We're trying to gather it all back up and put it back up north
pikehunter Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 Hmmmmm, still not a flake to be seen here in Hamitlon. Did you all notice what Spiel said? Did ya, now did ya? Ha did ya? See the Hammer really is a beautiful place! And you all thought we were nuts to be here! HA! Na na na na na naaaa..... But wait, we will get ours yet and when we get it look out!
