What a Storm
12/13/10 at 09:41:08
Officially we have 18 cm of new snow (but it is blowing around like crazy), 50 mph wind gusts, and wind chills in the -30 to -35 degree C range.
Left the Exploder home for the wife and drove the Outback on snows to work.
That was fun!!!

Officially Winter (at least in my books). It's also the day the blower in the car packed it in. Is that irony or what?

Some spots... 2"... some spots... more than 18". Worst part was it's that fine stuff that blows around, so it gets really hard-packed. Just spent almost 3 hours with the snowblower.

That figures Anthony!
Doug we had 8 ft snow drifts at our Aviation Campus - the wind at the Airport is just nasty.
I was lucky - one of my neighbours owns a lawn tractor with a snowblower - he did 90% of my driveway before I arrived at home.

The drive home from the RSO meeting in Brampton last night was pretty hairy - lots of total whiteouts on the east-west roads. Had to almost come to a stop at least half a dozen times.

I have to second RoSs coments for last night. I'am extremely happy that Ross volunteered to give me a ride last night. We had some hairy moments both going and coming home.
Many thanks Ross
