Default 33cm and still bloomin snowing!!

Okay- it was my fault I admit it- I jinxed it by saying oh great looks like a green Christmas! That was last Thursday and now we have so much friggin snow I am now laughing anymore!!!

My poor dogs are up to their necks in it! Thank god I am on vacation so I did not have to go to work today!!

I heard Kingston was hit hard, we got half of what you got. It's stopped here now and all roads are clear.

Most of what was on the ground has melted. It snowed heavily for a couple of hours today but it didn't settle...

Forecast is for this weekend so it'll be batten down the hatches and keep warm for us...

We only had around 15cm, maybe more. Hard to tell when it drifts around but not too bad. Took me over an hour to shovel it. I would have cried if we had 33cm.

Bright blue sky today and it all looks gorgeous.

We had about 30cms too. Had to use a shovel as I was going to replace the carb on my snowblower last spring.
