Glad I just got off a night shift, did not have to scramble to get that cleared off to be to work.

30cm so far, with much more coming. At least it's not freaking -9001C anymore. :biggrin: Driving home in that snow as actually kinda fun tbh.

To think I was going to go to Timmins for a job at one point, until the station manager told me it was too big a market. Well, I work in Toronto now where there isn't much snow and it's mild today so he can suck my left nut. :p

I'd hardly call that a pounding. Canadians should be used to getting ridden harder than that.

Actually over the years we've been getting less and less snow, so it kinda hits us as a bit of a shock when it does happen. Life goes on though, still have to get to work. Typically this snow would have come in Sept/Oct but have not seen that in a while.

It's still coming down. Car got stuck while trying to back into my driveway which had about a foot of snow in it, 2 feet in some areas due to drifts. Took a cab to work, I'll deal with it tomorrow.

Though I prefer this, than the rain and slushy weather Toronto gets. ;) It rains enough in summer, last thing I want is some in winter too! Though it did get pretty hot at one point, one of my coworkers was saying it did rain for a bit.

And it stopped.

I think it's time to go fire up the BBQ.



On that note, going to wait till June to do that. :biggrin:

Yeah there's a BBQ in there somewhere.

10 inches here, and still snowing.

Damn, people are stupid. Bad enough when it rains, but snow is 10x worse.

For some bizarre reason I envy you. It's February ... and the forecast is for temps in the mid 80s this weekend.

Gotta go and warm up the A/C ...

Actually yeah this aint much compared to what we used to get back in the day. Apparently we're only at 66cm right now on the ground. That's peanuts. Not even a meter lol. When I was a kid I used to jump in the snow from the roof. Would be a bad idea for a kid to do that now. :awe:

We get giddy with excitement here in Alabama when snow falls. It rarely sticks though.
