Getting warmer as the day goes on, though, and a high of -2 tomorrow!

CFRB said mix of rain and snow on Saturday, and then high of -4 on Sunday.... so if it rains, do we get to look forward to another ice rink adventure on Sunday? That'll be fun... ... ...

Supposed to get -1 overnight tonight, its currently +6 .

Well it's not particularly cold, but lots of snow again

They were forecasting a maximum of 20cm by tonight for this area - they were wrong... I have well over 35cm already, plus drifting.

Not much better in Oakville. The drive to work stank this morning. Usually I drop my husband off, then drive to the office. That usually takes 20 mintues. Took 50 this morning. I feel bad for people wtih longer commutes. And it's still coming down here....

If you're parking, don't forget to raise your wipers so that they don't freeze to the dash or get buried under the piles of snow.

Seems to be heading our way tonight and tomorrow morning - the kids have already decided to call a snow day for tomorrow

OPP say they are dealing with a crash every minute OMG

And yet, when I called them to report that I'd been in a collision but it wasn't serious enough to warrant remaining at the scene, they sent a chap round who hung about chatting for the best part of an hour.

Sorry to hear you were in a collision - hope you are ok and not too much damage done.

Hope the collision didn't cause you to make a typo in your texts.

Might get snow on Sunday.

We're ok. The car that hit the back of us very much wasn't though; airbags deployed, door no longer functional, finished. I suppose we'll now have years of litigation to deal with.

Gozit

Snow day today for me! Maybe tomorrow too but not so sure about that...

Sorry to hear you were in a crash dbd, glad your ok!

magnumpi

And possible surveillance if you have an injury

Lots of extra work being created today

Oh dear.

Each winter seems different to previous ones. Like everywhere else we had at least double the usual snow for December to the point I was thinking that there was no more room for the plow guy to push it along our drive and that the next snowfall would likely mean a tractor/snowblower to deal with it at three times the cost.

But since January began I think we only had one snowfall of two inches which soon melted. The rest have just been flurries.

We typically get more than half our winter snowfall after Feb 1st, though, so there's still time to be buried in the stuff.

It's just not looking or feeling like it will happen.

And here was me thinking "it's a bit warm today" when it was -8 getting into the car.

A curious drive this morning. The amount of snow early on wasn't particularly deep but the car was having more problems getting grip than I recall at any other point this winter. Turning at a junction I even managed to skid slightly and graze the snow bank. Being a stubborn sort, and knowing what I'm doing, I don't slam on the brakes like those of a more fragile persuasion, thus allowing me to get myself out of the difficulty instead of merely plowing straight on with all the wheels locked under braking.

Shame that at slow speeds or parked the car only puts out cold air. Might be time for a new thermostat.
