danc Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Snow, snow, and more snow. Today, April 19, 2013, yes April 19, we had a major blizzard. I haven't heard how much we got officially but with 70 km winds, it doesn't matter. Snow drifts were 2 and 3 feet, maybe more. Snow was falling horizontally all morning and into the afternoon. I spent the day giving my Ariens deluxe 28 snowblower a workout. So glad I bought that thing a few months ago. I am officially throwing in the towel and give up all hope of summer arriving this year. Forecast for the next week calls for...... more snow. Maybe I'll get the opportunity to untarp my water taxi next year. Or maybe not.
LefroyFisherman Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 wow, such a long winter... we have a couple cm's in the forecast for this area, I like winter and all but I don't envy you one bit.
Tayzak15 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 The streets were bare 15 mins ago lol, Winter coming back again?
Rizzo Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 crazy...we just had friends move up that way half a year ago. Not that its balmy here, but definitely better than that!
irishfield Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Don't worry Roger.. supposed to be snowing down here again tomorrow !!! Far cry from coming out of the school of Architecture yesterday, in Cambridge, and it was 28* C!
Entropy Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 And here we were worried about global warming. Run as fast as you can the White Death is upon us! Stay safe and enjoy the blower.

If you can make it down here for Sunday morning you'd me more than welcome to join us for some Crappie fishing.
danc Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Posted April 20, 2013 Actually, the more I think of it, it's a small price to pay for living in the heart of the best freshwater fishing on the planet. I'll get through it guys. Pics coming. In June.

This winter is just a tease now though haha, I just bought my new boat yesterday down in Toronto before comming back up for the summer from school and we get hit with a storm and now its supposed to be -10 or more the next 2 days.
Moosebunk Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 That's the spirit Dan!!! May 1st what's going to happen is the heat is just gonna turn on so hot you'll be swimmin' a meltin' tidal wave downhill to Ottawa. Stop on in for coffee in the boat. lol.

danc Posted April 20, 2013 Author Report Posted April 20, 2013 What, wait? You're not selling your boat for cheap then? Dang. Not yet Rob.
Ron Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Oh suck it up and take one for the team. The more snow you get up there, the less we get down here. lol
bigugli Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Just think of how much this helps the lake levels
davey buoy Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Once all settled we should see the lakes up quite a bit compared to last year. Sure hope so!.
kickingfrog Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Not yet Rob. That's ok, we just got a dusting on snow in Barrie as well.
Tayzak15 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Just think of how much this helps the lake levels Its supposed to create flooding issues where I'm from in the main river.
OhioFisherman Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Hmmm... it was snowing here this morning, now let me think, why didn't I go farther north until June? LOL
Nipfisher Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 Saw this today and thought it was appropriate.
kickingfrog Posted April 20, 2013 Report Posted April 20, 2013 I did what I could today to give winter the finger. Barbecued in my shorts and had a beer.
mr blizzard Posted April 21, 2013 Report Posted April 21, 2013 I did what I could today to give winter the finger. Barbecued in my shorts and had a beer. LOL that's how we barbeque here in the winter, gotta try something different, I sorta feel sorry for you because I know u want spring, but find a way to get the snow back up here and I'll take it ALL
