Not all of Ontario is Toronto, where they call out the army (at least sometimes) when it snows .

I guess it is all a matter of perspective.

Sometimes we need a hand when it snows. But that is when the snow is to the roofline, and your doors both push outwards. That is when you need someone on the outside to tunnel in to your door. I think Derk Derin can tell you about that.



I just went to the gc weather pages, and was checking out the forecasts for Ottawa. Amazingly, we do have it better around here (for now). That is supposed to change in a week when we go back to lows of -20. Perspective or not, I don't like -20. But our average temps for this time of year are supposed to be -24 low and -13 for the high. Guess I shouldn't complain.

I think it was about 4-6 deg here today and sunny. Grass is green and some of my wife’s plants in the yard as still very green. Every day is closer to summer so I’m happy with the winter so far.

Hi Bob

The storm today brought us about 2 inches of rain with temperatures up to 42 F / 5.5 C. Almost all our snow/boiler plate ice has melted. Ice has been our problem this year, the Federal Express truck got stuck on flat ground in the door yard. Driver got front wheels stuck in one set of ruts and rears in another. Tried throwing sand under the wheels but truck had one bald tire, ended up pulling it sideways with plow truck till got him clear of the ruts.

Right now what I need is a zamboni to smooth out the ruts, then at least go skating.

Actually we could use a series of small SNOW storms.

Cheers Phil

Hi Guys

Love hearing about the snow. better than sticking your head in the fridge to get some cooling. I asked my dear old dad some years ago when I asked him "Dad since we immigrated to Australia, have you missed the snow" and he said, "Son, I don't miss ta bit and I don't care if I never see any again" "nice to look at when it first comes, But when stops and it all turns to mush". "Nope you can have it" I wouldn't mind experiencing once though. OK guys got to go and ge my shorts and go outside and tan up a bit. Ha Ha.

Cheers

Tony, this is Canader we're talking about. Sure it may be snowing and colder than frk, but we still go outside in our shorts. At least until the weather really shuts down then we put our tuques on.

Ever got a sunburn off'n a snowbank? It's a thing here...

Why would you complain about Snow? Beats bushfires anyday.

Get out and go for a drive.
