Angry Damn Weatherman!!!!

Last night, our local forecast was to receive 2-4cms of snow overnight ending early in the morning. Well guess what? We've had over 20cms of snow and it's still snowing!! 2-4cms my azz!!

Shane, I'm feeling your pain right through the monitor!

We don't have any on the ground here now but it looks like it's coming in the next few days. This weekend there is also a big storm expected. It looks like 40+ cms when it's all done.

Guess I'll have to test out the G this weekend.

We had rain and +7 on Sunday and yesterday was sunny and +5. That took most of the snow away.......and today we got it all back again.

Hopefully that 40cm storm misses you, even though it would be fun to play around with the X.

I think it's safe to say that's the only job where you can literally be wrong over 90% of the time and still have great job security...

Not as bad as snow, but it was supposed to be cloudy with a few spots of rain on Saturday, and pouring rain on Sunday. But the pouring rain came on Sat while Sunday was clear skies all day. It matters when you run touring demo events showing off different new electronic devices when they're in the area...

But hey, at least they knew the rain or snow was coming!

Shane, that sounds similar to here.

Update, we've got a touch down right now. It was pretty much melting when I was out running a while ago but temps are -2 now so it's sticking.

I just checked and this weekend seems to have backed off now to about 20 cms. It's going up to +5-6 and some rain after so hopefully it leaves as fast as it comes.

G/L with yours!

I actually wouldn't mind a bit of snow, feels weird without it, but I'll still knock on wood for Ian's sake!

I never trust the local news weather people, I go online and check the best weather sources and get my info from them, give that a try next time.... also if you got an iPhone try some of the weather apps there, I use Weather Pro and its very accurate (dont use the default iPhone weather app, it sucks)

by the way this reminds me, just saw Weatherman for like the 5th time last night on TV.... lol

wicked movie for those who missed it

Looks like we are gonna get the same storm now Deane. According to the weather network's website, we are now forecasted to receive up to 35cms beginning Friday.

Not nice.

Fill up the gas can.

Tomorrow is the last day of sun for another 6 days. Rain and/or snow all those days.

Looks like we are still gonna get this storm this weekend. It's already started snowing here and the forecast for tomorrow is calling for 25cms of snow along with 120 km/hr wind gusts.
