Well... it's not often that we up here in the Frozen North give into winter but we we're told to leave work today. My normal 15 minute drive took about 40 minutes and my residential street already has a foot of snow on it. Weather dudes say it's falling at a rate of about 2 inches per hour.... sure seems more than that.... and it supposed to continue until after 5 pm today.

Looking at the radar images over Ottawa shows that the system has not really moved in the last several hours.... just sorta parked over us.....  :P

Oh and it might change to freezing rain later on.....  :D

Yeah, best to get out of there. Go home and start gluing the corners back on your counters.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Already home... My wife is trying to convince her boss to let her come home as well.... her car is much lower to the ground than my SUV..... I may be going to get her at some point.... at some point even my SUV won't make it though..... :-\

Thanks.

First round with the snowblower. News says 29cm, 12 inches, official so far. Drifts in my driveway and street are deeper than that.... Still no sign of m wife.... May have to just go and steal her.  :coolsmiley:

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Just pulled it up on radar. Southeast of Ottawa is getting clobbered hardest but all of it is getting some solid snow, the storm doesn't seem to be moving, and the ice seems to be walking backward. Not a good day for travel.

All good here. I helped my wife and 4 others the last 2 blocks to my house. Should be fun read: snow day tomorrow.

Glad to hear the rain is backing off.
