You're saving money and are no longer a Cogeco subscriber. You're welcome. If snow or ice is sticking to the dish, spray it with pam. Seriously. Snow typically doesn't cause me issues unless it's the heavy wet stuff that sticks to the dish, as you're seeing. Canada doesn't enjoy the micro-climate that Fort Erie has. That entire part of Ontario rarely gets much weather. Although I do agree that no longer being a customer of Cogeco is likely worth it.

That entire part of Ontario rarely gets much weather. Um, the climate varies across all of Canada. Either way, Fort Erie doesn't have a microclimate. It's the same Lake Erie shore climate that stretches from Essex County up through here, though we tend to get more snow than places like Leamington do. If you have said Beamsville, Vineland, St. Catharines or NOTL - basically anywhere below the escarpment on the peninsula - then you would have been correct about microclimates. They're distinctly unique, rarely ever getting snow - compared to the rest of Canada, anyway - and with winter temperatures that are usually above freezing. Niagara Falls and Fort Erie, comparatively, get a shitload of snow compared to areas immediately to the north of here or even the southern parts of the GTA.

For some reason, I thought Fort Erie was part of that. That's basically anything east of Stoney Creek and West of Niagara Falls. Good grape growing country too. Weird how that part get's so little snow. -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein

Hah yeah, that's the exact location of the microclimate, but there's another separate microclimate within a small section of Niagara Falls itself near the actual Falls. When I worked in St. Cats but lived in NF it was weird. It would be snowing like crazy in Niagara Falls when I left for work. The moment you'd pass Mountain Road on the QEW the snow would stop, the sun would be shining and you'd see grass. My car would still be covered in snow and everyone in St. Cats would give me a weird look. Going home at the end of the day I would take the 406 and 58. The weather would be nice as I entered the Thorold Tunnel, and as I emerged on the Niagara Falls side the snow storm would commence and by the time I'd get home the piles of snow on my street would be taller than a minivan.

urbanriot Premium join:2004-10-18 Canada kudos:3 Reviews: ·Cogeco Cable	This microclimate is exactly why I moved to St. Catharines. The amount of effort I engage in removing snow from anything is minimal, maybe a few times a year I'll shovel the walk way. I think maybe once I had to clear out my driveway in the past few years. I just came from Niagara Falls, exactly 12 minutes from where I am now, and there's a blanket of snow on the ground. Here? Whatever the term is when there's a dusting that almost imperceptable, where you see more ground than snow. I'm genuinely interested to know how the weather here compares to Leamington, Ontario, since Leamington is pretty much the largest most southern municipality you can find in Canada.

mr weather Premium join:2002-02-27 Mississauga, ON	Leamington is moderated by the lake, especially in the summer when southernly winds cool down after a 60km journey over water. In winter they'll sometimes get good dumpings of snow if the wind is from the west. -- "It's all coming down!!" - Mike Holmes

That's the same as Fort Erie - or anywhere along Lake Erie for that matter - except that in Fort Erie specifically we get more snow as we're in the perfect position to get Lake Effect snow from three lakes - Erie, Ontario and even Huron. Lake Huron snow is a lot more common down here than people would think. It's beautiful in the summer down here though, always cooler than the surrounding area.

I'm near the lake here in town. When I go for walks in the summer there is a certain point where if you take one step the air gets gold, and if you go back a step it's warmer and humid. Where that line is depends on the direction and speed of the wind.
