No, I don't intend to. We have to go out early afternoon so it should be warmer but I did not plug the block heater in so maybe not even then.

According to the weather app on my computer it's -6c right now.

It's 06:36 and I know it's been snowing all night so I am waiting for it to get light enough to see how bad it is. I know me and Eric the snowblower are going out to play as soon as 8am rolls around and I can start it without making the neighbors mad.

I'll try to remember to take a pic before I shoot it all over next doors yard.

Everything covered in ice, this morning. Light snow as of now.

We had freezing rain in eastern Ontario a couple of days ago and then snow, so our road is glare ice under a couple of inches of snow. Pretty treacherous walking and driving.

The car and everything else was covered in about 1/4 inch of ice. the trees are creaking and groaning. Walking the dog and doing anything else outside requires that I wear my crampons to avoid slipping and sliding. Too old for broken bones!

Another 15 cm of snow predicted for today.

It is pretty though, and peaceful - the snow damps out traffic noise.

I don't want to jinx myself, but we don't normally get a lot of freezing rain. That stuff is really dangerous and takes power lines down as an added bonus. Hitting black ice while driving has killed a lot of people.

Light dusting of about 9-10 inches this morning.
Powdery, fluffy and pretty easy to deal with.

We are not near as cold or have not had as much snow as guys. It been in the teens F at night and below freezing during the day for last few days. We got about 2" of ice on the roads, the city has been mostly shut down for three days.

I hate ice, but what the hell at least the power stayed on.

Would have been a tough weather week for the meet.

Deja Vu...

I can picture all of us sitting with our shoes off and feet propped up around the heater.

Wow. We had those kind of crazy low temps few years ago when the polar vortex came to visit us.
I was working overnight and had to drive home in the morning. The car, body, springs, everything was just sounding different.
