Well, at least in our little corrupt corner on the right coast, it's shaping up to be a carbon copy of last winter. With the exception of the past 2-3 days ( cold ) it's been relatively dry and mild. Now we await the arrival, almost to the day of last years herald, of the latest Snowmageddon. I wonder when every snow storm became harbinger of doom and gloom : power outages, gridlock, store shelves empty, fill up your tubs with water.

        God forbid it happen on a school day ( WE WALKED 6 MILES BAREFFOT THROUGH DRIFTS SO HIGH... ) and try to find a kid to shovel afterward. We used to come home with 30,even 50 bucks after a good day. Not a bad haul for a 10 or 12 year old. I can still see the " Golden Hind " I bought once. Anywho, storms came without any Doppler radar warnings and life went on, not so today. In full disclosure I did go out and stock up ; #11 blades, flex sticks, primer and flat black. One way or another I be here modelling.

 

I hear you, the storms of 15cm seems like the

norm here in southern Ontario and are treated like a big

deal. Back in the day you could not even open the

door to get out, 5 footers. That said up here in

Canada we are so used to the winter and cold. We also

have great things to deal with it, snow blowers

ice tires, snowpack felt boots, parka jackets etc.

I love the 4 seasons of Canada but I know some just

despise winter with a passion, kinda of like xmas lol.
