... a flooding from cry babies. St. Catharines typically gets less snow than anyone anywhere else in the Niagara Peninsula, yet they're always the first to engage in hysterics about how bad they need a snow day...
Guy has to call in 'snowed in' for work cause his street hasn't been plowed in a few hours... Meanwhile, some guy in Ridgeway is throwing chains under his tires to get down his street that hasn't been plowed in a week, so he can get to work. |

That was me that added the flooding part lol. Some of the roads up in Smithville might get flooded.
Anyway here is the break down of the snow fall.

I see some town in SE New Hampshire got 34 inches of snow.
Logan airport in Boston had just under 22 inches.

Ugly house, silly layout and no trees.
The architect must have had some sort of bowel issues, why else would they place the main floor power room in the dead center of the main floor. |

said by Gone:said by dirtyjeffer:nope...you'll get fined if you do it. It's technically illegal to park on the lawn of every municipality I've ever lived in. I have *never* seen a fine levied for it. Good luck! while not a lot of people park cars on their lawns here anyway, the city does fine them...my buddy is a commissionaire and told me they do ticket those offences, when they see them, which isn't very often...the ticket for parking on the boulevard is far more common, as is overnight parking on the street.

to be fair, this subdivision is only 8 years old, so it will be a while before there are lots of large trees anywhere around here...also, the bathroom isn't located on the main floor...the main floor appears to be a large "L" shape that wraps around the garage with the kitchen, dining room and family room occupying the floor space for the "L" shape...that boxed in area you are likely referring to is likely the main closet and a pantry for the kitchen...the bathrooms are on the upper floor (main and en suite) and the third will be on the lower level.

| Ha-ha, your house is the same layout isn't it? 
While that use to be farmland there also had been a good sized area of forest which somehow was accidentally felled. Unfortunately the developers are still in charge of this city - explains why each of them just got a shiny Jubilee medal this week. |

Gloriously sunny and -8 with no wind today here in Grey County. Perfect for cross country skiing and any other outdoor winter activities.

Well around 12 I thought we were seeing the start of a blizzard but then it died down, even thought the sun was going to peak through. I believe now its going north of Halifax more centred on NB and the upper half of NS. Much ado about nothing. Its a bit of a pita because all our activities - dance shows, swimming etc have been cancelled and places closed (and all for about 15cm of snow which with drifting is a bit higher in places - like where it blows off the roof of the house).

our house is a 4 level backsplit, but the layout is different (more open concept that this one).
and that medal thing is an effin joke.

Have a look at the streets around the CNE when its running, lawn parking gone wild.
At the same time when enterprising kids tried this during the Canadian Open, they cracked down. Can't have cars spoiling tony Kingsway. |

said by Gone:said by digitalfutur:Did anyone notice what was common with almost every stuck car? No snow tires. Saw someone with snow tires slide through a partially paved parking lot today due to driving like a fool. The driver behind the wheel is far more important than the rubber on the rims. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool themselves. I had to go out late Friday morning for an appointment, and my street wasn't plowed yet. There was a car stuck just up the street and was having a hard time getting out. I backed out of my driveway and went on my way without even a wheelspin. When I got back there was even more snow, and yet another car stuck, this one almost in front of my driveway on the far side, so that I had to make a sharp turn to get in. This time there was a momentary wheelspin before I got straightened out and drove up to the house. I had no trouble the entire trip out, except poor visibility at times on the highway.
I have no snow tires, just my standard all-seasons. OTOH, while I was out I did see a pickup with what looked like giant snow tires driving much too fast and get into a spectacular series of weaving skids and very nearly ending up in the ditch. The nut behind the wheel -- the car part responsible for most accidents.

Tow times in Toronto are 6-24 hrs right now. You really don't wanna get stuck.
Building's plow didn't do the area in front of the visitor parking, so nobody can get out of that area without a tow, because its sheer ice under it.
$100 to move the car 50ft, with only a 20 minute wait because there was a driver near there willing to fit us in quick.

F'n twits, headed out earlier, went around the corner, and all the morons parked at the edge of the snowbank, which put them smack in the middle of the road.
No way an emergency vehicle would get through. Quick call to parking enforcement fixes that.
Were talking about people who bring home their taxis and school buses.

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake....... |

Then they let them go ahead. I have family who live on the street what got ticketed. And it wasn't in the Kingsway area. It was north of that, on Princess Margaret, and around Richview.

Our tow truck got stuck. They had to send out a bigger tow truck to pull out both the original tow truck, and my husband's car.

Hah! Great example of good neighbour-ness. I started slowly shoveling out my driveway wondering how I was going to deal with that mass of snow not to mention the great big icy plow drift at the end, and a neighbour with a pickup and plow attachment came over and cleaned the whole thing out in seconds. Now I'm back in the house contemplating a hot rum and cider, and I'm still **almost** keeping to my record of not having really shoveled snow since about two winters ago!
