Default Great big pile of snow!!!

I was just having a quick look in the Canada forum and I came across this picture of a nicely shoveled driveway and a massive pile of snow. I don't know how they got it that big.

Our last winter in Canada we had a pile to the top of the truck (like the pile on the right of the pic). It was getting really difficult to shovel the snow up over our heads. So hats off to the guy who did this one!

Apparently it made the Ottawa paper too.

Here's the original post.

Funky! My parents in Burlington said that last weekend they were subjected to a 3 day blizzard. The QEW down to Niagara Falls was closed, and it was the beginning of March break. Flights cancelled out of Pearson; absolute havic. They said it's been the snowiest winter in Southern Ontario for yonks. Our last winter there saw no snow at all. The kids were so disappointed.

What makes me laugh is after 35+ in Melbourne it can cool down too fast then you wish it was warmer say if you combine a change with someone's AC on full blast.

Find a country where it is 25 all year, all day.

In the thread where I found this someone even noticed the licence plate on the left. Apparently it says 'LONEYBIN", if you look real close you can see it.

Don't you mean after 12 days of 38+ (and the one in the middle that was 35)
