Looks just like my neighborhood in Buffalo! It was a rough ride into work and its still snowing. REALLY hoping for some semi-clear roads for the drive home! Stay warm!!
I can't believe all the snow you are getting , is that normal for your area?
When you first get to Universal go to guest services and tell them what you are celebrating. Don't forget to get anniversary buttons for you and Steve and graduation button for Jake. If Sunshine wants to go all out tell her they sell a plush birthday hat - it looks like a birthday cake with candles. We tried to get one for David but he was having no part of that!
They really will make a fuss over her, when David had his button on everyone told him happy birthday. A couple of places gave him free dessert but the cutest thing happened on Cat in the Hat. The CMs noticed his button and made a fuss over him. They all started singing happy birthday to him and everyone in line sang along, it was very sweet.
I don't know how you put up with the snow! Where I live it is quite literally chaos if we get just a small flurry so there is no hope if we have a proper snow storm
I wondered if you guys were getting slammed as well.....it really doesn't seem to matter which side of that darn lake you are on, does it? Hopefully it doesn't get any worse than its currently forecast to be. They say we will see rain here by Friday....so we are in for a sloppy week when all this snow starts to melt!
I love you Canadians..."Here is my house getting covered by snow as I left for work" No panic, life keeps going
Great plans so far, wow, this looks like another big trip! You guys do them right. How nice to receive the tickets as a gift!
I gues it doesnt matter! lol I think this week is supposed to be in the high 20's-30's, low 40's by next week. I'm always happy when the snow is done with, but the muddy mess left behind is almost just as bad!
Ha ha! If things ground a halt every time it snowed here, we might better all become bears and just hibernate for the winter .
Hey, that's not a bad idea, actually .
Much as we're used to it (or at the very least, expect it), I've never been able to embrace it. Seriously, get me to the south as soon as its humanly possible. I can honestly say if I never saw snow another day in my life, I wouldn't miss it. I love my country (well, some aspects of it), but I despise our climate.
Our annual passes (Steve and I's for Universal from last spring, plus the BOGO AP's for SeaWorld & Aquatica) have really, REALLY helped make us able to stretch our vacation budgets and been really excellent values. We can now pat ourselves on the back for smart purchases along the way. I honestly can't imagine having to pay for tickets on every single trip!!
The storm was just getting started when I left the house at 7:25 am this morning......here's what my neighbourhood looked like as the snow began in earnest:
Stay safe out there today, my Ontario peeps!
That's true, life would come to a halt.
I was reading an interesting thread somewhere about the climate of Canada, how there is nowhere warm in the country that you can move to. Versus the U.S. where you can move to a warm state as long as you can find a job there (which is not easy!).
I hate snow too. When people say how much they love the "seasons" here, I want to say unless you are right on the equator, everywhere has seasons people, even Florida!
That's not snow. Now THIS is snow:
Sorry, a little Canadian one-upsmanship. That was actually a few years back after a storm we named "big juicy". This is more what we look like now:
Although we may look a lot closer to the first photo by the end of the week.
Still a lot more than Toronto - A+ spent the weekend down there, and says they had no snow on the ground at all.
We didn't get the snow today, but we do have a bit in sunny southwest Ontario. So glad you are starting a new trip report. I haven't done anything about our six free nights at SVR. Waiting to see where DD ends up for post secondary ( we are in the midst of auditions) but we did get something new.View attachment 151642
Gina, I just love your trip reports. Happily subscribing!
