Last Year in 2008 We had 6" and We're near 1928', My relatives in Victorville and Adelanto CA got about 1' of snow from the same storm and the I15 and I40 were both shut down for a while.

In 2006 between Christmas and New Year's, I got 3 feet of snow. I-40 was closed for most of three days between Albuquerque and the Texas line, close to 200 miles of highway shut down.

It took me a couple of days to dig out my 50 yard long driveway.

Agreed. My snow blower will munch right through 15 cm, but won't do much to ice. Fortunately I have lots of salt and sand in a dry place.

Cold (3-4C) & rainy here. What's new?

We have a watch for snow, but it won't happen.

Ice is likely to be the bigger problem here.

Cool, That sounds like an average summer day here.

Only problem is they are only into June by our timeline, what is it going to be in a couple of months.

Its - Really Freaking Cold with the Wind Chill here in Wasaga Beach! I just finished plowing 15 cm of snow off the parking lot with a tractor and loader that has turf tires. That took 4 hours with the ice underneath it. Snow squalls still pounding us and I cant see my truck thats 40 feet from my office window. Going Home to have a couple shots of whiskey to warm up so I can come back in tomorrow and do it all again!

Cheers everyone!

That sounds like hell - only colder!

It's still cold & drizzling here. I hate this kind of weather.

Cold is ok.
Wet is ok.

Cold & Wet together is miserable!

LOL. I've thought that some days! Its really not that bad. When I consider the alternatives I prefer this part of North America. The west coast has earthquakes and massive forest fires, the south and east coast get the hurricanes and the central plains get the tornadoes. All we get is these white flakes falling from the sky! Depending on which source you go by our average annual snowfall is between 200 and 300 cm/yr. It keeps the ski resorts and the snow removal companies busy. Although the times are changing. This past summer an F2 tornado hit just down the road from my house, one of 20+ confirmed tornadoes in a single day record for Ontario. The only picture I could find shows the tornado at the top of the escarpment after it decimated several acres af apple orchards and before it decended the ski hill and wiped out several chalets and resort buildings.
