So when Armageddon arrives in the form of a snowstorm do the buses run?? Is my mate going to be able to get from Oddowaa to Pbro?? And if she does, should we be out in it waiting for the bus to arrive??
Will I get home tomorrow?? Should I ask one of the four horsemen for a lift home??

Re: State of emergency?
 

As well you should be. Where does that come from?

Not even wellies?? tie some bin bags over your feet that should do it :rofl:

Does the bus run along Highway 7 or go round the highway route (Ottawa-Kingston-15?). If the former...no hope.

Edit: Just been out for a smoke again. Still nothing much here.
Hang on I'll check the radar...

Re: State of emergency?
 

I havent a clue, as far as I can tell from the timetable, the bus doesnt even exist.

It would be a shame not to be able to meet with an old workmate from the UK, so much gossip to hear, so much gin to be drunk

So long as you can walk to the subway you shouldn't be very much distrupted. If you're in the 'burbs though, yes, rush out and buy snowshoes!

Re: State of emergency?
 

Well in the short term (radar range) both TO and Peterborough are still in a high pressure ridge...the problem is that we have warm fronts converging from the SW and the NW: when these meet (in about 2 hours I guess) the horsemen might have trouble getting through to you batty.

Well i am off to bed in the hope that Emerge wont call me for any x-rays to be done, and then at 9am, will dig my car out before following the snow plow home ( snow plow should rhyme but it doesnt , snough plough? snough plow?

night night cherubs

When I took a bus from Ottawa to Toronto it followed Highway 7 until it got near Tweed. Just before Tweed it stopped at a coffee/snack place where that bus would meet up with the Peterborough bus. The Peterborough/Ottawa route is all Hwy 7.

Sleep well.

If it's any comfort, I think most of the direst predictions are wrong...it's the Atlantic Provinces and of course the home of AX, our illustrious thread starter who are going to get truly f***ed over the weekend.

Re: State of emergency?
 

I thought so too. Well let's wait and see...I'm following batty into the sack (if you see what I mean).

If you are refering to the pic - it's off the weather channel (23).

Re: State of emergency?
 

We'll see. The snowfall patterns for Nov/Dec and the rest of the winter show a weak negative correlation. The analysis is a bit skewed by a few very bad winters but, crudely put, if it snows like buggery before Christmas, it probably won't continue to snow like buggery in the New Year. Over the last 3 decades, the heaviest Jan-April snow has very often followed average or below average snowfall in Nov-Dec.

I am currently predicting 150cm for Nov/Dec and a total of 270cm. Pre-New Year snowfall has only topped 100cm 3 times since 1980 and the total winter snowfall ended up at 260-280cm.

If we match the winter of 1992/93 (344cm), I'll be amazed.

My advice is to rush to your local Canadian Tire store and fit out the family, cheaply and quickly. After settling in look for some others if those are a problem.

Re: State of emergency?
 

Bit of snow here this morning, not even a half-inch but it's drifted and will want clearing when it stops.
