Variety is the spice of life but you can get too much spice sometimes. Bizarre weather everywhere. My daughter in Ottawa will get 5-10 cms snow, then freezing rain, rain, back to 5-10 cms of snow. Up to 4c in rain, down to -9c overnight Saturday. Were going to hit 12c tonight, 35-45 mm, huge wind, storm surge on the Atlantic, need to pick up some gas for the generator. Risk of a thunderstorm.

Almost back to normal out here in the west, -1 right now at 1:40pm but by tomorrow at this time
it forecast to be 9*C with light rain. Hopefully no heavy rain as we have close to a foot of the white stuff
just waiting to plug up the drains, LOL. Can put the shovel away for another year, I hope.
Only -25 right now! Beautiful sunny day, I was just outside for 45 minutes sweeping the driveway.
Ignore the Ford, that's the cleaning lady....we make her park at the far end of the driveway.
Kidding about making her park there of course, she does that automatically.
Friday forecast is for +9 and a ton of rain, were gonna pay for this!! Started my blower twice this winter , to move it out of the way in the shop.

Are you SW Ontario guys ready for this "Once in a generation" storm? I'm hearing it could be like the Blizzard of '78.
Sorry boys, this one, in my opinion, is over rated.
agree
Please remember,
I could be totally wrong
Sooooo only 70cm for you Randy LoL
-9c in Dallas Texas right now (-20 with the wind chill)
The Wind is going to be big story.
That first part of the storm missed Ontario and will hit the East Coast.
Lots of inflatable Santa decorations will be in the air tomorrow.

Watching the US National Weather Service Radar.
It alows you to click on different areas to get weather stats from any point.
The front is only about 60 miles wide.
+40F on one side and +2F on the other side.
