Roy Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 The 1969 snowfall record has been broken by 3cms. It will continue to snow heavily 'til 7 or 8PM with heavy winds. Current winds are NNE at 46kph gusting to 59kph. Highways are closed everywhere. At least J and I are home with a fire happening and we're just starting to make a really nice supper. I won't even bother to start up Big Bertha to clean the driveway....the wind and snow are just overwhelming for the time being. I'll take pics here as soon as I have the chance. Hope everyone is safe and comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice wild ride on the way home from work yesterday. No snow today, but some good wind gusts blowing through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 (edited) Sounds like your getting hammered over your way Roy, but good to hear you guys are surviving intact. Nice being retired eh, and not having to drive around town in all that mess. We got about 5" here but it still took me a couple hours to clean everything up but that's OK, as I enjoy doing that kinda stuff.
