donoreo Premium join:2002-05-30 North York, ON	reply to fast4ward Re: [Weather] Feb 26 & 27 Storm potential ON and PQ I had a scare! My vpn to work went down and would not come back up. Since the machine is fairly locked down I could not do the usual troubleshooting to fix. Luckily two reboots later it works. I almost had to put pants on

c2roth Premium join:2006-04-26 Kitchener, ON kudos:2	reply to fast4ward That was some terrible heavy snow this morning here in Kitchener. I got half the driveway done and threw in the towel as I was already late leaving the house. Considering the temperatures it might just melt a little bit.

weales join:2002-06-30	reply to fast4ward House sitting my parents place while they're away in the states. Power went out for 5 hours, emergency sump pump didn't kick in so had a nice small pool in the basement. Had to run some cord from the main pump to hook up to the generator.

dillyhammer A. Good. Start. Premium,MVM join:2010-01-09 Hamilton, ON kudos:9 Reviews: ·Start Communicat.. ·Cogeco Cable ·TekSavvy DSL ·Caneris	reply to fast4ward About 3 - 5cm of what I would call slush on the ground this morning. Very heavy and difficult to move. It tried to snow, just wasn't cold enough. I think we dodged a bullet - 3 or 4 degrees cooler and we'd be having a different result this morning.

urbanriot Premium join:2004-10-18 Canada kudos:3	Huge storm outside with 0" of snow. Well, there is the hard packed snow that hadn't fully melted the previous days so if you count that we might have 1" of snow.

Wolfie00 My dog is an elitist Premium join:2005-03-12 kudos:5	reply to fast4ward As hard as it is to move now, it's going to be a lot worse when this crap freezes up by the weekend. Fortunately we got very little accumulation here. Hibernation until April might not be necessary!

Kardinal Dei Gratia Regina Premium join:2001-02-04 N of 49th	reply to fast4ward Ice pellets, freezing rain and snow have been falling for a few hours now, but are converting over to just big flake snow....what a joy this day is going to be! Schools and school buses all ran this morning, so kids throughout the city were disappointed with not getting a snow day and the afternoon rush hour is going to be very entertaining. What really sucks is I have friends returning from Mexico this evening.

kim Premium,Mod join:2001-03-25 ON kudos:6 Reviews: ·Cogeco Cable Host: Cogeco	reply to fast4ward We've easily got 4" of wet, heavy snow here and it's still coming down. The roads were plowed really well even by 6am and they were still going at it. Even with them being so on top of it there was some flooding and low visibility. Definitely a drive I had to pay full attention to. I got hammered by the spray of a truck going in the other direction. You know the kind that you see coming and brace yourself as you frantically reach to turn the wipers on high? The spray covers the whole car and you pray the windshield wipers can handle the weight of it and quickly. As I came south towards the lake there was less and less snow. -- Fluent in 3 languages: English, Sarcasm and Sexual Innuendo.

Well, there is the hard packed snow that hadn't fully melted the previous days so if you count that we might have 1" of snow. Haha, all but the the largest piles in plaza parking lots melted here yesterday. The huge giagantor flakes falling right now are the only snow I've seen from this entire "storm" We did get enough of a deluge yesterday combined with the melted snow to cause a small section of my basement to get a bit wet. Goddamn 1930s house.

Kardinal Dei Gratia Regina Premium join:2001-02-04 N of 49th	reply to fast4ward It's on the way Guspaz -- this morning is well summed up by local Ottawa CBC reporter @alistairsteele (via Twitter): Leave the office: cold drizzle; get to Starbucks: eye-jabbing ice pellets; leave Starbucks: blizzard of fluffy snow flakes #ottawaweather The afternoon rush hour isn't going to be a rush; it's going to be a slow progression of impatient people in igloos (aka cars which haven't been properly brushed off - one of my biggest pet peeves in the winter). -- All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars All of us do time in the gutter, dreamers turn to look at the cars - Peart / Lifeson / Lee Join Team Helix

mr weather Premium join:2002-02-27 Mississauga, ON	reply to donoreo said by donoreo: Very heavy, very wet. I normally clear the sidewalk because the city guys suck at it with their sidewalk plough, but I left it this morning. Most of it anyway. The sidewalk plow went down my street as I was out shoveling. Left nice, snowman size balls along the driveway for me to deal with. I got about a third of my driveway done before running out of time and energy. Will do the rest of it after work. I won't be using my snowblower because with this kind of slop it just clogs and bogs down. Read somewhere that snow this wet weighs about 40 pounds per cubic foot. Something to keep in mind before you load up that shovel. -- "It's all coming down!!" - Mike Holmes

They sent one of the big diggers that they normally use on dead ends and cul-d-sacs. He spent a long time and cleared the end of my driveway very well. Then the sidewalk plough came. It is a sloppy mess out there. -- The irony of common sense, it is not that common. I cannot deny anything I did not say. A kitten dies every time someone uses "then" and "than" incorrectly.

NefCanuck join:2007-06-26 Mississauga, ON Reviews: ·voip.ms	reply to fast4ward Rain / snow mix last night into today in Mississauga. Can't actually tell if more is coming down right now because my window at the office is nearly covered in a sheet of ice from what we've gotten so far. From what I can hear however, it appears that the water isn't getting down the drain though, which means the drive to the chiropractor this afternoon will be loads of fun I'd skip tonight's appointment but I really need an adjustment after sitting in the Mississauga council chamber seats for two hours Monday night NefCanuck
