Sinker Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 Best weather forcast available! Instructions for Newfie weather rock put Newfie weather rock outside If the rock is wet, it's raining. If the rock is swinging, the wind is blowing. If the rock casts a shadow, the sun is shining. If the rock does not cast a shadow and is not wet, the sky is cloudy. If the rock is not visible, it is foggy. If the rock is white, it is snowing. If the rock is coated with ice, there is a frost. If the ice is thick, it's a heavy frost. If the rock is bouncing, there is an earthquake. If the rock is under water, there is a flood. If the rock is warm, it is sunny. If the rock is missing, there was a tornado. If the rock is wet and swinging violently, there is a hurricane. Always 100% right! S.
ccmtcanada Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 I was bracing for freezing rain and 5-10cm of snow. Woke up to this....
Acountdeleted Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 I could tell there was no snow/freezing rain because my allergies are still going crazy.
moxie Posted March 22, 2014 Author Report Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) I was bracing for freezing rain and 5-10cm of snow. Woke up to this.... That looks absolutely horrible!! Did you stock up on supplies when you first heard it was on its way? Call if you need anything. I'll pull the chopper out of the hanger and bring you what you need. Damn thats just aweful.

LOL
lew Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 They were bang on for my area last night, both with the amount of snow and the time it would start and stop. They also said we'd get some sun this afternoon and that's exactly what we have right now. Course it's not very often that happens
irishfield Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 Can't believe the whine that you didn't get as forecast... come shovel my 20+ cm of wet mashed potatoes! Here's a road shot outside my gate this morning..

Still have a foot on the roof. How much snow did you get last night?
Tdel Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 We definitely got more than enough snow last night but that is the norm around here. Nothing special about that.
Raf Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 damned if you do damned if you dont i suppose we got exactly what was forecast here in dufferin county
Terry Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 How do you tell the difference between a tornado and fog though? LOL in fog, you can't see where you think the rock is tornado, you can see where the rock was yesterday. but it's not there now
lew Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 Hey Lew, our cottage is west of Buckhorn. Still have a foot on the roof. How much snow did you get last night? We only got 5" over here but it's about 4 degrees right now so it's really heavy, but the good thing is it's melting too. I've got a gravel driveway and cleared it a couple hours ago and most of it is bare now. Big Cliff is over on Sturgeon and he said they got 6-8" so you should be somewhere in between.
Big Cliff Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 Got out and cleared mine before it got too warm so it was still nice and light. Then the wind came up and drifted a lot of it back in. It has warmed up enough now that it isn't drifting any more and things are starting to melt again. I sure hope this is the last of it though!
Acountdeleted Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 in fog, you can't see where you think the rock is tornado, you can see where the rock was yesterday. but it's not there now In a Tornado, there is a good chance the rock will be through your window.
Joeytier Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 -1 and snowing since midnight...bang on forecast here
Sinker Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 How do you tell the difference between a tornado and fog though? LOL you just wait a minute, and it will change LOL S.

lew Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 I'm hoping for a slow melt Sposed to be cool for the next few days around here but then climbing to about +6 by next weekend and staying like that for awhile, so that should get some melting happening. Hope it doesn't cause any damage to your place.
misfish Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Minus temps all next week over night, and warmer day time. Lets hope it,s a slow melt for those that can get hit heavy with flooding. Sure glad I live on top of the hill. Edited March 22, 2014 by Misfish
LefroyFisherman Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 I got almost a foot of Heavy snow in Lefroy
SirCranksalot Posted March 22, 2014 Report Posted March 22, 2014 Only job in the world where you can be wrong 85% of the time and people still believe you! but the only job where you get second guessed by a groundhog---and some people prefer the groundhog's opinion!!
