not to be a pain, but according to environment canada, the snow was only supposed to start this morning, and continue until tonight. the prediction of 30-40cm is total by tomorrow morning. http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/warnings ... whx-012700" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

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..

A pain? :banana:

I was more referring to the visibility.. if they actually had a plow or two on the roads I'd go bombing around no problem, in my FWD Echo :rockin:

If my tires didn't look like a :banana: peel I'd be out bombing around too. I need to figure out if I'm keeping, or getting rid of my truck so I can get a new set of tires!

Driveway shovelled. I hope that's it but I doubt it. I got some new tires last summer (mud & snow) and the truck is a freakin tank in bad weather. :banana:

Blustery down this way. Cleaned out the end of the driveway/plow mess, but gonna wait until the blowing stops to get the rest. Meanwhile, the wife made stew and I have a young stout that could do with some drinking.

Just started here a little while ago. Getting nasty now, but I'm not going anywhere.
Bottled a Festa kit for my B-I-L and now sampling my Spruce Ale while a feed of moose ribs
bakes in the oven at 250f with a ton of onions on top.

Going to wait it out before I start up the snow blower.

Me too, and I haven't even started any snow clearing yet. But the idiots across the street from me playing softball don't seem to mind.

Good amount of snow here in Amherst. Probably about 3 feet at the end of my driveway. Drifts as high as the fence in my back yard.

The worst part was watching people in my neighbourhood with snow blowers while I shovel.

I just came in from helping a young woman stuck on my road. I have no idea how much snow has actually fallen so far, but there are some pretty crazy drifts in the driveway. It's still snowing pretty hard so I won't bother doing the driveway until the morning. I picked up a new toy a couple of weeks ago to replace the snowblower......looks like I'll put it to the test tomorrow morning!

As Jeff said, its a bloody mess here. The wind has been blowing so much, I can't tell the difference between driveway and yard. I'm not touching the driveway until tomorrow.

Wow Andy. That looks wicked all right.
I just got in from snow blowing my driveway and my 2 neighbors driveways. Wasn't too much to it, but as it is supposed to turn to rain tonight
I figured to get ahead of it now before the freezing rain/rain hits.

Shane, that's a nice machine. I love driving those much better than the side by side.
