Shane, it sounds like you guys will be getting a little piece of this too.
Yeah we are supposed to get 15cms of snow and high winds starting later this afternoon. There is more snow on the way for Saturday too, but am not sure how much yet.

Our weather is flip flopping. Now it seems they've downgraded it again and something similar to yours.

Yeah, Saturday and Monday call for some more. Looking a couple of weeks out there seems to be lots of precip on the horizon.

Shane, sorry to hear that. We had the same yesterday but rain afterwards. That seems to be the norm this year so far. Sloppy frozen mess. We have 20-25 forecast tomorrow followed by rain.

This is by far the hardest start to a winter I have experienced here. In fact so far it is worse than most of entire winters.

I've had to salt my drive for the first time ever living here. I've spent about 18-20 hours on my driveway so far this year. It's also the first year where there will be snow on the ground after New Years. I always go out and pull up my ground light stakes etc but this year they frozen and buried under snow.

Heck you guys have been getting it this winter .

My yard is almost completely bare of snow now. My daughter was teasing me because I'm looking after my Grandaughter tomorrow and I had planned on taking her toboganning. We would have to go grass sledding .

LOL, Wayne you're a true snow worshiper. I wouldn't wish this on anyone though.

Snow with rain seems to be the pattern this year. Usually we don't get rain until a day or two later.

I believe our weather is going to get better after tomorrow though.

We are currently getting hit with another snow storm. This is a pretty cool website that shows current road conditions. It's a good day to be home.

Just heard today that you're expecting another 'dump' guys......stay safe guys.....
Lately we've gotten off lightly as Wayne alluded to tho it's been a little wet at times then colder.....but hey, so far it's been not too bad. (so far!. )

Let's all hope for an early spring......

Happy New Year to everyone -DOMO

Sorry to hear about all the snow guys. I was thinking about you Saturday as my friend and I were riding in his Jeep with the roof off on a bridge over the Intracoastal heading to work on a boat, blue sky and sun beating down on us. It was a bit warm actually - a few degrees cooler would have been nice

Thanks for those warm thoughts Stu.

I was thinking about you the other day as I walked around my neighbourhood (sans gun) the other day after leaving the door to my home unlocked.

Some of that Florida sunshine and warmth would be pretty welcome here right now! Happy New Year.
