So they have a flash freeze warning on this morning.

+4C and raining to -5C and f**ked.

let me know how the drive is this morning guys, time to go make a bowl of oatmeal and do my workout.

[darkpuppet]

p.s. I'm up at 5am, not of my own choice, but because all my windows are shaking (bowing in and out rapidly) violently in their frames.

It sounds like I"m living in a tin can filled with ball bearings......

I just might snap today

i just tried to go to work and the cops have pretty much all the roads closed for my various routes to work .. can't get wasaga to go through there or through barrie

the snow is blowing really bad right now .... country life is Great!

Did the Army come to visit? :D

I was up at 6, out shovelling by 6:15, and was done by about 7:10. That's 75% of my driveway, shovelled double-wide in some spots.

But then again, I'm a crazy bastard. I shovel faster than the guy down the street can clear his driveway with a snowblower. I'm not sure how much we got last night, but the drifts alone were a foot and some high in places in the driveway, and at least 1 1/2 feet around the car.

Toronto itself has ZERO snow and the streets are dry... it's the northern areas that are sacked.

but the wind... SOMEONE STOP THE WIND!!!

Out in Mississauga this morning it's just been blizzard, sunshine, blizzard, sunshine for the past two hours :blink:

and the temp is supposed to drop to -5c by the afternoon... holy frack...

As to the wind? I didn't notice it in my place beacuse I have the FAN 'O DOOM running in my place after the flood :(

Yeah the wind is pretty violent here to. The power cables seemed to have gone up a few dozen guages :blink: Thats some power loss waiting to happen.

[NOS2Go4Me]

We had freezing rain at, oh.... 3AM (thank you neighbours and your ghetto tincan siding!!! :angry: ) but thankfully, somehow, it didn't crust and cover the top of the new-fallen snow. Shovelling was long and tedious... at least a foot deep to 2ft depending on the area of the driveway, but not overly labourous.

Nothing on the lines here, no power blips so far.

yeah I had fun with the flash freeze at work this morning as I was at window today. when I left my car made some odd sounds when I hit the unlock button and you could head the ice breaking round the doors as I opened it to get into the car, and there was no ice on the car at all when I left.

Same here in Hamilton... *looks outside* Yup... it's sunny now! :lol:

[darkpuppet]

yeah, we had a very interesting thunderstorm in toronto lastnight... I saw the flashes, but didn't hear anything for the first hour or two... so I thought, 'damn, some snowplow has a really bright light!'.... then the power blipped a couple of times, and then the booming started around 10:30.

this weather is nuts. end of the world I tells ya!

Yeah, it was bad in MTL....we were loading a truck today when the wind hit....temp dropped like a stone. Damn wind tore the shrink and tarp off the crates.....and you ever tried chucking straps over a load when it's windy like that...not easy lol. Had to use a forklift to get someone up there to hold 'em.

Cold I tell ya, COLD!!!!! Windchill was -30....brrrrrrr
