I already drained the gas out of my snowblower, lucky the snow shovels were still in the garage eh.

Welcome to the club, that same system hit us Monday. The Trans Canada and Hwy 11 were shut down on and off because of it here in North Western Ontario.

It's been cool here too. 50 at night and only 83 during the day. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
You probably don't know why my pictures are white Paul :rofl2:Quote:

It has to snow somewhere. Let it be somewhere other than here. It actually snowed here in San Antonio and stuck for about a week in Feb. Hasn't snowed here in probably 30 - 40 years. It's that global warming.....
No different here, Steve. A lot has already melted, or been blown from the tree branches.

Here we were promised snow but it looks more like hail

And then the snow began

Another couple of inches of snow and you will be able to live in an igloo like we all do in Canada. My igloo even has a double garage to keep my huskies in :roflmaoQuote:

This last week or so we have been having light snow/ snow pellets off and on with no measurable accumulation.
One morning the bridges were pretty darn slippery and I don't believe how many people were caught off guard.
Tomorrow is suppose to get up around 60'f in the afternoon and I hope that my schedule allows me to get out on the roof for my work that I have been putting off!
My Friday night it was said to have snowed in Denver 3 to 6 inches. But I was off the next day so I didn't get to see it. Darn! But I've had snow in my yard for a week now. It's just not warming up enough to melt. Although we did have a warm spell about 3 weeks ago. The yards are starting to turn green and the trees are budding.
Boy it's beautiful here. Seems the pollen count must be down.
We had a few dreary-looking weeks I always attribute to the Mexicans burning their fields.
They won't report that anymore.
Politically incorrect I suppose...
All my stuff was budding before the Great Freeze, so I think my lemon tree is dead.
Must have had 300 buds in it the day before..:mad:
Lotsa dead stuff. Watering and hoping for any sign of life.
When that snow hit yesterday the roads went lethal.
A video showed semi truck rolling over and exploding its cargo. A snow plow rolled over at least twice and a poor woman from Tennessee was killed.
Wow, our snow wasn't that bad. I had to shovel but it's almost all gone already.Quote:

Now I live in a town that sees snow about 3 times a year and it disappears within a week or so but I bought a snowblower when I moved here, I've used it about 4 times in 4 years!
I thought I would add a photo of our Elliot lake snow, it would snow just after Halloween and not melt, just added more and more until it finally went in late April.Quote:

A lot of folks don’t realize that the northern part of the states around the Great Lakes gets a LOT of snow because of the lake effect. There are places in upstate NY where the snow gets much deeper than we see on the Ontario shores of the lakes. Very much lke what Steve’s picture shows for northern Ontario.Quote:

Elliot Lake is 20 KM north of Lake Huron.Quote:
