Snow, lot's of snow and -4 C (25 F) and feels like -11 C (12 F) and there is enough wind that the snow is blowing around.
At 14h30 I took this pic of my path to the sidewalk:
I took this one at 15h50:
The trail is nearly obliterated by new snow.
Following my husband's work. He was a commercial fisherman and we moved to Texas for the shrimping. The last time I came back to Boston, I made it clear that I would never move again. I wanted to settle down and make a proper home for my kids.
Hey, that storm came up from Tennessee.Kylie, I would say that is an average snowfall for where taxlady lives. Our next storm is coming from Montreal. We call it the Montreal Express. It is so neighborly of them to share it with us. Thank you taxlady. You Canadians are so generous with your winter weather.
You got hit harder than we did. I was so happy to see my neighbour on his bobcat (it has a front-end bucket). I was so not looking forward to shoveling. I had shoveled the end of the driveway where the snowplow piles up the snow, but hadn't made much progress on the 150+ ft driveway to the house. I'm getting too old to do that kind of shoveling too many times in one winter.Hey, that storm came up from Tennessee.
That snow was on bare pavement. It does get deeper, but that was the most snow we have EVER had in 24 hours. It was at least 45 cm (1/2 a yard).
There were loads of accidents and stuck cars, but luckily, no fatalities. When the previous record was set in 1971, 17 people died.
People were pushing busses that had gotten stuck!
At least two of our articulated busses broke!
Yeah, it was pretty impressive here. My MIL said that her snow removal company had been by and plowed her driveway twice, but she couldn't tell by looking. She lives in Cornwall.You got hit harder than we did. I was so happy to see my neighbour on his bobcat (it has a front-end bucket). I was so not looking forward to shoveling.

mission accomplished, addie--and superbly, too!! this is easily seen by anyone who has known you for five minutes.
To cold for me... High of 43... No good... Need to win the lotto and move back to florida
There were loads of stories in Montreal of people helping out other people with the problems caused by the snow. Kinda nice.Yesterday we got hit with lots of snow--the light, fluffy kind--about 12 inches. Thankfully, my neighbour was in the Christmas spirit and brought his bobcat down and cleared my driveway and two of the neighbours' driveways. Today it is bright and sunny--looks like winter wonderland out there.
