Yuck, It's finally snowing now!

[Cordelia]

I don’t know what all of the fuss is about, I just looked out the window and the sky is clear, the stars are twinkling and the neighbor’s dog pooped on the patio again. It’s the same thing everyday, boring.  California is like that.

I heard out East got hit     

Depending on where you are, I think we'd be considered "out east."  I know that a lot in Alberta or BC, when they talk about the east, they mean Ontario, when there is much more east than Ontario.

Some places got hit good, I think I heard that Yarmouth, NS got 54 cms.  We didn't get that much here, closer to 10cms.  Enough to be a pita.

anything past manitoba is east for us

   The province of Quebec and anything East of Quebec is considered Eastern Canada to us     

Any provinces West of us, we consider Western Canada     

LIght snow during the night lastnight has made the drive to work for commuters slppery this am, I think I'm gonna wait to go outside until the salters and sanders are out this morning

it's been too warm here to snow, but it was really windy yesterday..

[Cordelia]

had just a light dusting this morning, nothing to rave home about. I would like a white Christmas. But maybe we won't have it.

[Riki]

I should have took some pictures while I was in Pictou County, NS today.  If the snow they got there sticks around, they'll have a white Christmas for sure. The walk had to be shoveled from my grandparents' building.  There was a good 2-3 inches of snow down.

[mcclane]

had about 3 cms on sunday morning, but it is pretty much melted now.

He said, "I can look out the window and check the weather," and he leaned carefully, parting the sheer curtain. Suddenly he stood, then shouted, "You dogs get outta here!!"

He ran to the front door, opened and crashed through.  By biow the two dogs ran away, startled by the abrupt interruption.  But they left something on the patio. It was recognizable even from a distance and it was twice the usual amount.
 
He gazed in the direction of the dogs and muttered, "they're over-feeding these anilmals."
 
He knew where the shovel was and as he went for it he thought, "I wish it would snow.  It might be too cold to leave deposits on the patio." He had a passing thought, "I might sneak over to the neighbor's pation and leave my deposit. Naaaaw!  I already moon Amtrac," and the thought passed into the ether, perhaps to return some day.  Tomorrow most likely.

Life in California where the weather is good and the dogs are healthy.

It snowed here again today, and I think I caught a chill going between the dialysis unit and the car.  I haven't felt well since I got home, but I was fine before I left the unit. I have a slightly elevated temperature, and when I say slightly elevated, I mean .1 degree Celsius above what it should be, at least, the last time I checked.

I hate snow

[Gerald Lively]

I don't remember writing the post (two up).  Am I going nuts?

It doesn't even make sense.

  I thought that too, the first time I read it.  I thought it was just a poke at us who have to winter in the cold places..

[Cordelia]

Gotta love this crazy Ontario, Canada weather           


Two days after Christmas, we got a major dumping of snow......lasted for like one day.....THEN, we get a huge amount of rain, washes it all away and now.......it's snowing again     

[Riki]

it's done a lot of raining here too.  I haven't been outside since Friday, so I don't know if there's any snow left or not

[Gerald Lively]

No rain here in December, our wettest month of the year.  Same as the year the forest fire burnt down the house.

Local argument:  Did our house burn up, or did it burn down?

[Cordelia]

Snowing here now pretty steady. The sun comes out briefly, then it clouds over, then we get some more.

[Gerald Lively]

Our hundred year annual rainfall is around 65 inches.  So far we have 6.1 inches.  A big old storm approaches the coast then it divides.  Snake bit.

It burned.  End of argument. *LOL*

It's been raining off and on all day.  At one point, I checked the Weather Network on my phone, and it said that it was 8C, which is spring weather.  It seems weird to not have any snow down, and have the ground not frozen.  I sunk in the driveway going to the car this afternoon

I'm an hour north of Chicago, and we're finally getting some snow. I kinda liked the 50 degree weather we've been having all winter. But that's just me, having recently moved back into the area from LA. Bleah.

[MooseMom]

I'm an hour west of Chicago, and snow is great if you're not the one who has to shovel it.  I don't know why that task always seems to fall to me.  My husband's from here, but I'm from Houston, and I don't do snow.  That should be my ticket out of shovelling.  Sadly, that ticket don't fly.

I've considered whining that shovelling isn't good for my fistula, but why bother...the drive would still not get shovelled.

[Chris]

Moosemom, he might then get you a snowblower instead of having to shovel 
 
The snow was very wet in Chicago today, but by the time I got to Naperville it was sticking pretty good and then by the time driving further south out of Naperville, it was snowing a lot more  and sticking pretty good. I like it, just hate that it is very cold in the low 20's.

[KraigG]

I was lucky enough to be able to buy into a senior community when I moved back (I'm not 55 yet), and they do all the shoveling. Lucky for me!

[Riki]

It started snowing here about 7:30pm and was supposed to turn to rain around midnight.  I don't know if it did or not.  I haven't checked.  It's about 3:15am here now.

This weather is just strange.  I'm used to a January thaw, but it didn't really freeze.  Has me a little worried about what February will bring.  Probably a couple of good dumpings like last year, that made the snowbanks taller than me, and it was sometime in May before it was all gone.

The shoveling tends to go to my mom.  I can't really do it cuz I don't have the stamina, and like MooseMom said, it's not good for the fistula. Plus, I'm too slow. *LOL*  Dad and my bro have their own driveways to shovel, so they won't come here and help Mom.

[Rain]

IT's been none stop in Eastern ontario since yesterday, a mixture of freezing rain, rain and snow.  So glade I have the day off work but I still need to head to dialysis tonight.

[cath-hater]

I live in Ontario.  Yeah.......ONTARIO, C A L I F O R N I A !  Only snow we get is the ones you buy from some shady guy in a dark alley and you snort it up your nose.
