One hell of a storm

[akr71]

I can't take credit for the pic - I stole it from the newspaper. My wife said she had to drive through the odd snowdrift on the way home from her night shift this morning. The rest of the road alternated between completely bare and a foot deep, depending on the wind cover. I'll try to remember to take pics tomorrow.

gonna give my Garrison Brewoff entry a test tonight.

Coming down in Halifax now! I think it's the worst I've seen all day.

CBC mentioned this morning that there were hurricane force winds in the province.

My neighbour works at the scale near the NB border and he was saying their weather station recorded gusts of over 130km/h yesterday.

Into category 2 here.

Still snowing and blowing here. I'm cranking up the Primo anyway.

Not a good day.
The fucking snow blower gave up the ghost, the car won't start and I'm afraid to have a leak.
I went to the bathroom anyway only to have the flapper on the toilet break.

I'm getting drunk. Shag it.

Snowblower got a great workout here. First time in a number of years where the drifts and plow gifts were higher than the blower hopper. Beautiful day today so we cooked up a mess of sausage to have over the next couple of weeks. .

I've been looking at the radar/satellite imagery but don't see where it's supposed to be coming from? I normally don't look at the map data, so I could be totally missing something..

I cant see the map you were referring too (I think it's now the current conditions). I wish I could of helped you out. I love this stuff and teaching it is one of the best parts of the job. Mid latitude cyclones are awesome things.

I thought we were done with this stuff

Was gonna take off my winter tires Wednesday but thought I'd leave it another week to see if this amounts to anything.

I was about to do the same thing last night until the forecast came on. Cracked a brew instead

Fuck that. I'm putting summers on

I had been planning to put my summers on the Forester this week because I'm tired of starting at the fucking ugly black steelies I have on it for winter, but I'm glad I held off. Driving with my summer tires in snow and slush is like a dog trying to run on hardwood.

Fuck it. I refuse to shovel. I'm going to go on pretending it's spring... going to pick up that Vision kamado in the next few days.
