We bit icy out. At least the birds aren't sliding off the tree branches!

Your pic is what I woke up to this morning.
Awesome! Haven't seen snow in a long time.
Had no problem getting my dog to do his business.
A quick run and it's let me back in hurry I want my fireplace!
"Not a problem Mom. What is this stuff?"
He's never seen it.
The weatherman didn't say the snow would drop here.
My son told me it started at midnight.Blizzard. He woke me up to tell me that? Cool, but don't wake me up. ;) Missed that show. More today, the Grapevine is open for now. But only for a short time. CHP is helping people stuck get out in convoys. It will be closing again soon.
 
Here on the Island of Montreal, it's currently -14°C (7°F) and that's what it feels like too. We are expecting -20°C (-4°F) overnight. It was colder than that last night.
 
A cold sunny winter morning!

Tonight 5-6” of new snow is expected and another winter storm is scheduled to blow in on Friday.

It seems like the entire winter is being packed into the end of February beginning of March.

Will March come in like a lion? ?

I'm below the snow line again (KOW), and should be getting a soaking rain later today, through tomorrow morning, which shows some radar in the yellow and or orange. The temperature will go down some, but rise some overnight! The areas north and west may be getting up to 6" of snow.
 
27 this morning, going up to about 34/35 around noon, dropping back down to 32 around 4pm with a 72% chance of snow. That will increase to 100% during the evening and all night.
LOL Grand total of 1" expected. How can it snow for hours and only get that much? Oops, sorry, that's 1" per hour.... so I guess we're getting over a foot of snow.
Best news is that my son is home and not stretched out on sand somewhere - so he will do the shoveling.
 
It's currently -5°C (23°) and sunny. We are expecting somewhere between 10 and 30 cm (4"-12") of snow from Saturday to Sunday. It's apparently a hard storm to predict, but we are expecting a mess.
 
Well, my son did shovel around 8 pm, but by 4 am when my darling dog HAD to go out... I shoveled a path from the back door, across the deck (16-18 ft?) and down, just one side!, of 9 steps. then about 3 feet into the path. It was only 9 or 10" but by 4 am was really heavy and wet.
As I sit here with aching wrists, because now it's not just the one wrist that was operated on, but both of them, I'm trying to figure out how to tell Physio why they are still inflamed. :cry:
 
We have one, but you can't do a deck with it. Only access is thru the house or up the stairs. Plus there are bedrooms just outside the deck - don't think 4 am is the time to start up the blower. :ROFLMAO:

Not sure I could even start it, don't have very good shoulders either. Operating it is very hard on the wrists and arms as well. Unless you've had a blower, you just don't realize. They are great for not having to lift, but otherwise, still take a lot of manhandling.

Naw, not to worry, but thanks GG, it will just take longer to heal. I could have let the dog to do her 'business' on the deck, but...
 
We're in for a big heat wave and Monday is the day! And we thought Monday is reserved for meatloaf. 65 is a warm winter day and next weekend it's back to 28! This is March after all. Looking forward to daylight saving time … !!!
 
I count my blessings when I hear these snow totals elsewhere. KOW, we have gotten absolutely no snow this season - only flurries. Late yesterday, and overnight, we got over an inch of rain, along with wicked wind, though not damaging wind, like in the MW. Not real warm, but it was in the 50s today. It stayed windy most of the day, with gusts in the 40s, though after that rain, I wasn't going to be working out there today!
 
I'm not sure where in Canada he lives, but someone on a different forum posted the following on Friday:
I can't leave my home to go shopping. The city cleared the road moving all snow to our driveways. I have a snowbank of tightly compressed snow 70cm high and 2 meters wide between my car and the road.

He is retired, but how are people supposed to get to work?
 
Unfortunately, Phaedra, that's life in Snow country. It's even worse should you live on an outside corner. As the plow turns the corner it dumps even more snow off the side. To make matters even worse, as the winter progresses your driveway gets longer and longer. The plow starts his corner sooner with each pass.
 
Much better, fortunately. For the last several days we have been, um, "treated" to some serious rain, heavy winds (70mph) and a few tornadoes. Although not as bad as the last batch of tornadoes, one of which totally leveled our nearby town of Mayfield. I mean LEVELED. There is barely anything left of it!

Today promises to be a sunny 66F and I know everyone here is ready for that. I certainly am. Our back yard is so wet it looks like chocolate syrup...and we live on a hill. Our 2-acre pond is running over its edges. Something that hasn't happened in years.

That is more likely to happen in the countryside. It is also more likely to happen in a bad snow year for a place that doesn't usually get a lot of snow. That could be a problem for a day or possibly two, for a really big snow dump, in Montreal, but it doesn't usually happen.
 
Oops, sorry taxy, I lived in Beaconsfield for 30 years.... and it happened every snow fall. We had to constantly call City Hall and have a plow come back and "fix" that corner. My neighbour and I were two driveways that met on the outside corner. Even though my neighbour had much longer driveway to begin with I was the far turn of the corner and received the majority of that extra "hard-packed" snow being dumped there.

Well, it's a small city. It has some "special" attitudes. I have never seen it happen here in DDO and I have lived here for close to 28 years. I don't remember ever seeing it in Montreal. But, I do have friends in Montreal who get their driveways blocked for a few hours or a day, once in a while. It never happened when I lived in La Macaza on a dirt road, and they for sure had to clear our road, because the school bus had to get through.
 
DDO has as many curved roads and I'm pretty sure more than Bcfld. so I'm sure it has happened to many. EVERY gets that hard snow at the end of their driveway. Not even the city of Montreal goes around and clears driveway entrances! LOL that would be a sight! You are blocked in if YOU don't clear it.
I was saying that my driveway was getting longer with each pass.
