What's the weather like where you live?

Dino GT · 01-17-2022, 08:47 PM

Honestly I hate doing it, but I had to call the Councilor to get the snow removed

freakystyly · 01-17-2022, 08:57 PM

Ya you guys got way more than us in KW. We maxed out about 13" (33cm). All of our major roads were cleared before 5pm and my low priority street got a half assed single pass about 30 mins ago.

I had to dig my way into my driveway.

This was after I tried plowing my way in of course.

Jesus, f that.

Can't remember the last time we had that much snow

Alfisti · 01-18-2022, 08:55 AM

Yeah I paid $40 to get the bulk of it done, still took us 2 hours to clean up the sides and the doorways etc, it was a LOT of snow, more than i've ever seen for sure.

M_Six · 01-18-2022, 09:15 AM

Yikes. I hope we never see that much snow here.

Supposed to hit mid-40s today. It'll feel like spring. Back to normal winter temps tomorrow, though.

I'm surprised to hear that. There was one year a few years back we got hammered with multiple storms that dumped more than 2 feet of snow. I think one hit almost 30 inches. I would have thought you guys got more up there than we do.

Toronto is usually upwind of the lake-effect snowbands from Lakes Erie and Ontario, and doesn't get dumped on like the snowbelts south of Buffalo and the Tug Hill Plateau south of Watertown.....

I woke up this morning, and noticed a Winter Storm Watch alert on my phone. When I went to bed last night, our forecast here was for a dusting of snow on Thursday and a coastal storm being too far offshore to hit us on Saturday. The National Weather Service's criteria for a Winter Storm Watch is 6+ inches of forecast snow in these parts.

When I checked my phone to read the alert to see what changed, it was for the South Carolina Midlands again. Apparently an inch of snow and 0.1-0.2" of ice in the forecast for Thursday night into Saturday qualifies for a Winter Storm Watch down south.....

M5Rick · 01-19-2022, 11:22 AM

South Carolina seems to be getting the raw end of the deal with the snowstorms.
All calm over here with 9C and even blue skies an hour ago.

JJ 911SC · 01-19-2022, 12:28 PM

2" and they are calling for freezing rain later...

vreihen16 · 01-21-2022, 07:08 AM

Currently +5 F here as sunrise approaches, with tonight's low forecast to be -1 F.

Whenever the temps fall below 10 F recently, our deck seems to make violent "boom!" sounds as if someone had dropped a bowling ball on it. I suspect that one of the concrete sonotubes that hold the deck up is being heaved by the frost on cold evenings, stressing the wood until one of the joints finally slips like an earthquake on a fault line.....

Not much better here. 14 now, 10 tonight. How the hell did we ever survive before heated seats and steering wheels? Do you remember how freakin cold those skinny plastic steering wheels got? I hate this winter nonsense. At least we turned the corner. Sunset finally hit 5pm. It won't be long now.

Joekerr · 01-21-2022, 08:25 AM

-27C when I was running the kids in to school, but warmed up to -24C right now. Crisp morning.

Steeler · 01-21-2022, 09:01 AM

brrrr

Dino GT · 01-21-2022, 09:13 AM

It was +3 on Wednesday

, so some of the snow melted and then -13 yesterday, today -22 feels like -29

Alfisti · 01-21-2022, 10:33 AM

FMD it's cold. This is criminal, no one should be living here.
