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

[BitsnBearsMom]

Oh well.... at least it's the end of November. Stay safe if you have to drive anywhere today everyone!!

My 13yo is staying home with me today b/c his bus is cancelled - he'll be thrilled and my almost 8yo ds will be ticked b/c we back onto his school so he can walk!!

I just looked on the air canada website and dh is gonna be late - he's been in Virginia all week and seems the 2nd portion of his flight from New york to Toronto has been cancelled Hopefully he will get on the next flight but the turkey has turned his cell phone off so I can't catch him.

Stay safe today everyone!!

Clean off your car, top up WWF.

I woke up early and cleaned off the DW's car, it was caked in ice.
If storm persists I'll head off to the parking lot at the train and clean off her car during the day.

Salted the driveway and sidewalk.

Leave early, leave plenty of room, don't be in a rush!

School buses are canceled here in Mississauga, sidewalks very icey!

In my opinion freezing rain is far more treacherous than snow.

Weather like is not unusual for this time of year.

Get ready for the folks who get real snow to flame us.

Although trying to move 5 million people is not easy on a good day.

WELL woke up this morning and hardly any snow but looks like its very icy, man I am only 3 1/2 months prego and have to be be careful I dont slip taking older dd to school and then 2 lil ones at lunch time.

Which school does he go to if the bus is canceled? My daughter goes to GCVI and of course since it has only been closed once in 20 years (last year on the cold snap) she had to head out -- lucky for her though she takes the city bus.

I am getting ready to head out to scrape the car URGH hubby better have made sure i have one of the gazillion scrapers in my car!!

Oh BTW you might notice I am also a GUELPH-ITE

Are you sure you don't need us to call in the Army? They are just a couple of floors up from my office. I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

He is only in gr 8 so goes to CA - takes a school bus and all busses in the UGDSB were cancelled today.

No worries though - he walked all my munchkins to school this morning, baked cookies with the daycare kiddies that don't go to school, just took the dog out to throw the ball for him and this afternoon he's making apple crisp for dinner tonight and he'll go do school pick up.

He's enjoyed the day off so far and I've really enjoyed having him home!!

toronto might just have to do that..... there IS ice on the road ya know.... however will they handle it??

I'm from Guelph too and the CDSB all there buses were cancelled too. Had to take my son to the doctors and drove by the school and only about 50 kids were on the playground. The school holds 650. Took me 1/2 hour of running the van for the ice to melt. Now other son is using the road infront of our house (were in a sub-division under construction) as a ice rink and sliding from our driveway to the one across the street. Oh to be a kid again and having fun. OH I will at WDW

I'm in Ottawa, after last year where we had no snow until January I'm not used to this. I keep thinking its going to be SUCH a long winter with so much snow already on the ground. Luckily there's that Disney trip to break it all up.

 

[debbiet1]

I know we have a picture of the house dated January 8th no snow at all. It was beautiful we were out in just heavy knit sweaters. Unless they are right about mondays forecast I dont think its going to happen this y ear. According to the weather its supposed to warm up Monday/tuesday I'll believe it when I see it and all this snow is gone~!

 

[WDWFRV]

It's okay Debbie, you will be in sunshine land pretty soon. I hope that your husband is getting excited.

 

[debbiet1]

I wish he were I plan on making the most of it the kids and I cant wait. After all this snow.. its tooooooooo early for snow!! lol

 

[Ham Ham]

Finally received a little bit of real snow overnight.

 

[BitsnBearsMom]

Woo hoo - we got at least a foot on the driveway over night - glad we went to cut down the tree yesterday and got it in the house last night. House smells GREAT!!

Off to go fire up the snowblower and play in the snow with the boys and dh!!

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.
