What a Storm (Read 3716 times)

Dave Cotie God Member Offline Posts: 838 North Bay, Ontario	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!!!

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.

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 Grin
