Car started fine though, unlike a lot of people's.

We're actually one of the warm spots in the province.. coldest I've seen around is -47F

Because most of this forum is American and doesn't understand the system we use in the rest of the world. So I convert it for you benefit.

well you phrased it poorly

the snow depth here is only 15" which isnt too bad but it's really drifted from the wind
