-10°C (14F) but the windchill makes it feel more like -19°C (-2F). Lots of squalls coming in off of Lake Huron/Georgian Bay but not much here in town. It seems to be going around us. Lake Simcoe seems to be protecting us.
Much colder than average here. Should be 42ºF but it's around 23ºF. We will be below freezing for the rest of the week and will have to deal with a storm Saturday night/Sunday.
I just came in from running my errands, we are having a miniature blizzard!
The driving was not too bad for my little truck. I did see a little car with a great big tower strapped on the roof trying to navigate the snow and ice without much success. When I got close to it the sign was for Google Earth, not a good day to go explore!
North of me the little town of Redfield has gotten over 5 feet of snow in the last couple of days. Years ago up that way, the oldtimers used to ask everyone they met three questions in the fall.
Got yer wood in?
Got yer deer yet?
Got yer 26 weeks in? (unemployment insurance for the winter months)
They are a hardy bunch!
I wonder if that's the same storm we're due to get Friday night into Saturday. They were saying 3-6, now they changed it to 2-4. I think you get more snow on the east coast than we get.
I think it is Carol. Watching the 11:00 news last night, the first mention of accumulation was 6" to 9" for my area. By the time he got to the full forecast, he had changed it to 3" to 6". I though that was just fine with me. This morning, accumulation is now 6" to 12".
Bottom line - it's gonna snow and the forecasters have no clue.
It is Friday the 13th. I am wondering if that is an omen for the storm they keep telling us about all week. Being as close to the ocean as I am, our temps are a bit higher than what the weatherman is telling us. It makes it hard to decide what our weather is really going to be.
The other day a friend whose wife is working in New York told me that she'd reported that it was snowing over there.A good night to dig out an old copy of Stephen King's Storm of the Century video!
As much as I was anticipating that snow that's forcasted for tonight I'm hoping it passes us by. My grandson wants to come over and trim my tree with me!
