Guest gbfisher Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Not sure what it's doing around town but they've closed schools and cancelled just about everything and for what? What's it doing where you live? I think we've had about 3 inches of snow. They've even plowed the roads which they don't normally do until we get at least six inches and it usually don't plow for a good day or two after the fact. You'd think we lived way down south where they never see snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishing n autograph Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yeah, other than the drifts around my van and the 3 foot pile of snow the plow left there wasn't really anything to shovel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) We got it somewhat good in Clarington, but the wife still loaded the van and drove the girls to school. Took me an extra 20mins to get into downtown TO. Total media hype. Kind of annoying really, you can't help but anticipate something "big" to happen. I like true snow days. Although, I think the biggest disapointment is for the kids who's schools are open. Probably more snow in the Motley Crue dressing room.

I know there's a stretch north of salford on the first bend that gets drifted over really bad....i'm assuming thats where the 100 meter drift was.
