16 hours non stop snow so far. It's sticking but slushy to walk through.

Frosty morning. Had to scrape ice off the windshield for the second time this season. Grrrr.

Yep, got a dusting yesterday here in London, but got a reasonable dump last night, some 25cm. I had to laugh at the line up around every bay of the local Mr Lube to have their winter tyres put on. I did mine a week ago as the forecast was pretty obvious - feeling pretty smug about now!!

Freezing rain is coming...it’s that that causes all the problems and brings down power lines. Even so I’m glad to be in NB today and not AB where I believe the temperatures are unusual...even for Canada.

We've had snow on the ground for a week. Just an inch or so but it hasn't melted. No new snow last night so I suppose it's coming today.

Sunny at the moment, clouds over the north shore mountains, around 12 degrees.

Stuck tractor trailer spinning wheels on a slight slope here. Needs someone in a manual Mustang to come and pull it up.

It has been snowing steadily here most of the day. Enough to shovel not enough to start the snow blower. Wet heavy snow.

I live in the Windsor area and usually manage to get out of Dodge before the snow starts.

First time I've seen a heavy snow in 5 years.

If it had only waited until Thursday, I would have been long gone.
