ccmtcanada Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Street lights lit this up like a Christmas tree last night Woke up today to see branches from town trees broken and resting on my fence.... About 2cm of ice build up on everything. I'm glad I have nowhere to go today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Another 7" of snow up here overnight... yesterday was 4" and then a crust of freezing rain on top that I plowed away. Was just going to plow as it didn't look like it was doing anything outside, and the radar shows nothing, but stepping out the door realized it's raining so I'll just throw another log in the fire and put my feet up!

Burtess Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 We didn't get it too bad in Dundas, but I had one branch of my cedar in the back break from the weight, then I went into action. Got the grill going to melt some of the ice off the other branches hanging low... worked well! Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DundasSteelheader Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Here are a few of mine... Hard to show scale but there was roughly 3/4" - 1" of ice on all the trees. Huge damage to all the apple trees, a few completely split in half. All the tops of the trees lining the road are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handlebarz Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Dang it was well above freezing here in SW area no ice all rain lots of it. My sump pump is still going every 3/4-1 hour pumping out 4" at a time in the hole. That's alot of rain here. All our snow is gone and the Thames river is running high and breaking up. Hope everyone is safe out in the South and eastern parts of Ontario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darsky Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 As bad as you guys in Toronto got it (and I DO feel bad for the ones suffering) it does not even come CLOSE to what I went through back in '98. Multiply it by 5 (total days) and then you can really relate. Most affected had no power for 7-12 days. The military was called in to help clear the trees. I think it was something like 30-50 mm each day. Fond memories. Good luck with the clean up. We just got ice pellets today-no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
