Snow.... freezing rain.... blech

[BitsnBearsMom]

Ahhh all our nice snow is going to go away now.... it's been raining all afternoon - supposed to get between 15 and 20 mm of rain/freezing rain overnight - my 13yo ds is hoping for a busses cancelled day tomorrow!!

They are calling for 40 cm by tomorrow evening and 50 km winds. Looking forward to that. It JUST started snowing here about an hour ago. It's supposed to stop by Tuesday.

Where are you in Ontario to get 50 cm's of snow?

It's pouring here in Mississauga. I hope we don't we don't have a flash freeze overnight.

We were at my sisters in Guelph this afternoon and they had freezing rain.

Here's my BBQ as of 19:30.

Roads were terrible here in Guelph too - not sure if the town knows that they are supposed to clear and sand the roads when it snows
Last week when we had the freezing rain they went to the street just above us and didn't bother with our part of the road - I guess they figured the only 3 houses before construction could slip and slide Thankfully they did plow our part today AND they pushed it all across the road for us!! nice plow drivers!

Let's hope that this doesn't mean it's going to be a nasty winter!!!

Yup us to. I considered being a mean mom and driving my daughter to school but I ventured out around 7 for physio appointment. NONE of the side roads are plowed and the only reason I made it off my own street was because we have a truck. Not going to risk life and limb to get a 5 year old to kindergarden to no school for her. No work for me.

Well thank goodness I work at home - busses were cancelled here today and good thing too - roads were sheer ice.
My almost 8yo wasn't impressed with me that he had to go but schools were open and we back onto the school and there were only 3 kids missing in his class. He's getting a 'mental health' day on Friday though - we're baking

We live outside the Ottawa region, and our local small town radio indicated we had hit the 50cm mark this afternoon.

We are expecting another 10-15cm tonight, and then tomorrow is supposed to be a nice, but chilly day. In as much as I love the white wonderland, I'm VERY thankful to be heading to sunny, warm Orlando tomorrow.

Our kids RARELY get snow days. Today the school wasnt even open it was so bad. Usually the buses will be pulled off the roads occasionally but the schools are usually still open. Not today. Everything was canceled. 16 days till we hit DIsney.. Looking out the window.. I cant wait.

I am also in Ottawa and yesterday I used up a full tank of gas running my snowblower three times!!
I'm going to WDW with my Mom and DD and Photobear Sam and her Hubby in 11 days time and I'm worried that when it starts to snow on main street, that I might develop a really bad twitch
To all those who are still digging out, good luck and take it slow, you don't want to hurt anything before Christmas

I know that the snow and ice have made for bad road conditions and all, but aren't you just a little bit excited that we might finally have a white christmas again. I personally would rather look out the window and see clean white snow, rather then brown mud. It might also be that I am an avid downhill skiier and a christmas fanatic!!! So here's to a possible white christmas and a real winter.

(Feel free to yell back, this is only my opinion!)

We were in Kanata today to pick up our tickets. YAY...
we have so much more snow than Kanata.
I dont think we have much chance of this going away!

Syracuse is getting it's share. It started on Mon. The driving is awful and we expect more. Hate it!. Going to WDW for xmas can't wait.
