I think we got more snow here this afternoon (after the 'Winter Storm Warning' was called off) then we did last night when we were supposed to get the major dumpage

Agree.. have to go home and shovel

Crazy....really?  I am what, 1 hour south of you and we defineatley got the bulk of our snow last night. Maybe got 3-5CM more today, but closer to 15cm was there to greet me this morning....I hate shovelling......plow just came by too  :-[

Yeah, for real.  Thank God my neighbour has one and came over after seeing me struggle with the snow drift from Mr Plow.  Took him 10 minutes to do what was going to take me an easy 40 minutes.   Next year.....buy a snowplower

I was going by my office windowameter - it looked like it was snowing hard all afternoon.
I blowed out about 10cm this morning and another 6 or 7 after work, so i guess looks were a bit deceiving

Got a major dumpage in the afternoon too.   Tested the new winter tires in 12 inches of unplowed parking lot.  :)

Wow got home and the driveway was about 3 feet high in snow.  Glad I have a snowblower!

Owen Sound got the biggest dump of the winter after a devastating melt down at Xmas.  The sled trails will be solid for the rest of the season save another melt down.   All highways in and out of the OS were closed until about 2 pm.
