Dutchy Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twocoda Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share 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...

solopaddler Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jediangler Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
