Temperature dropped quickly this morning. Went from slush in one driveway to frozen solid two driveways later.

Snow and wind picking up here again.

[GuingesRock]

Another nice day for a refreshing ice cold glass of weizen.

20CM wet snow to shovel.

[GuingesRock]

Minus 17C, but the sun is shining and it looks like spring a bit, as long as you don't poke your head outside the door.

Have a good weekend all.

ps. People saying more bad weather on Monday.

[LeafMan66_67]

It's a beautiful day out here. Quick breakfast downtown, then high school basketball at SMU.

This winter reminders me of the ones we use to get when I was a kid. It can end anytime. Broke 2 shovels already.

We used to winter camp at fundy all the time when we were younger, building quinzees or four season tents. It was fun, I don't think id enjoy it as much now though.

[GuingesRock]

Yup, have had quite enough of this shit weather.

[chalmers]

I had half of a 6-pack of Coke explode on my back seat overnight Tuesday. Thankfully it hadn't got warm enough Wed AM to melt the brown ice, but it was still a pain to clean up. Sadly, it's not the first time I've had that happen...

[jeffsmith]

Gah, I've had enough of winter.

[GuingesRock]

It's ominously quiet, still, dark and started raining. I like the rain ...reminds me of jolly old England. I think it's going to be "pissing with rain and blowing like fuck" ...one of my mother's expressions that I love. Imagine it spoken in the Queen's English with emphasis on the words "pissing" and "fuck".

[jeffsmith]

Snow is really picking up here. No snow yet though. Hopefully this storm won't be as bad as they're predicting.

More like too much NyQuil for this fucking cold. We'll blame it on that anyway.

No wind here yet fuckers!
