Our current forecast is calling for 10cms on Friday, 10cms on Saturday and another 30-40cms on Monday. Fack! I'm just closing my eyes pretending it to be July and going for a top down cruise in the S2000.

I'm running out of place to dump the snow!

The Sidewalk plow must have had one hell of a time clearing today - I noticed they were only on half the sidewalk near one side of my driveway. The drifts were easily 3 -4 feet high on my street alone. Major Streets like Regent were the same too, and the snow off the road gets dumped on the sidewalk first.

Don't be too jealous.....if it was +20 in Lethbridge the winds must have been hovering around F5 tornado speeds.

I would kindly ask that you all send some snow where I live, ca. 30-40cm would be appreciated. Thanks.

+7° max today, +2° tomorrow. Just plain windy.

Sitting here drinking my morning coffee and watching the snow fly again. I believe it's the third storm this week. $:-\$ . New snowblower is certainly getting a workout and working great. At least it makes much easier dealing with the aftermath.

At least the one forecast for Monday isn't forecast anymore. But the storm is late, it was supposed to be pretty well done by now!

Supposed to get really cold again tomorrow. Lots of snow to deal with in the meantime. I was in those garbage bins yesterday so that is how much we got since then and it has snowed more since.

Don't mention Spain. I can't go to menorca this summer, as my mom is already expecting too many visitors from here already. Guess since I was there 2 years ago, and no other family has been there since I went, they get to go first, before I go again.

Getting ready to blow out the driveway again. It will be the second time this weekend and fourth time this week (or is it the fifth?

) and there is another storm advisory for tomorrow calling for up to 30cm more!

Very cold today as well.

You would think your mom would want to see the grandkids as much as she can ? You , not so much

Topped up the fuel tank in the Husky. Looks like this will be the second time I have to use the snowblower this year

Ha Ha Ha. My mom is coming to stay with us for 6 weeks next month. July 2nd, her sister and her family will be staying with my mom till mid August. Then my older brother and his family will be staying 3 weeks after my aunt leaves. So our family could go in September... but my mom needs the break...And I don't blame her.

Accuweather is showing a 12-hour snow event, beginning at 7 AM tomorrow - there will be some hours without snow, though. It's just an Alberta clipper - these aren't usually huge deals. I think the bigger concern is Sunday/Monday, with NE winds adding lake enhancement. What's interesting to me is that right now, I cannot tell where Sunday's system is coming from when looking at the radar map for North America, but I recall hearing that it's going to be a Gulf-fed storm. Those come up from the midwest and can be nasty.

Am I right, or am I right?

The first 5cm have fallen. Going out for Round 1....

Looks like I spoke too soon... another blizzard warning... this would mean close ~ 80 cm snowfall in this past week alone!
