Well we got 12” overnight. It’s still lightly snowing and supposed to for part of the day - not sure how much more will accumulate but blah.

The husky is loving it - but Lizzy says no thanks.

Hope everyone stays warm and safe.
 
It's 30 this morning and I have 6 inches of snow in my backyard. I got wet snow since the cedar trees are
drooping. I'm going out soon and get some snow off them. More snow coming.

I woke up this morning with TV and no internet. Thank goodness I got internet back. I washed clothes
this morning and I'm doing studies today.

I plan to do some shoveling in the driveway today. I usually do half of it so I have an empty spot so my car
will drip if I go out. I won't do that much today. I will leave my shovel outside. Maybe will come by and do
some for me. <ha, ha>

Kris, will your girls go out and make a snow man or woman?

Today is a good day for hot chocolate. Cheers.

Good day.... my middle son is in surgery as I type, my sisters are still in fire danger, one more so than the other.... and the Gods gifted us over 6 inches of snow yesterday into today..... I need to get out and clear a path for the Royal Poodle he can't just go anywhere... I haven't seen my driveway since last weekend, I've been trapped in the house and it appears I'll be trapped yet another day.... OH FREAKING JOY......
We are expected to reach freezing today aka 32° but on Sunday we will be an amazing 37 before we plummet again. The plow working the major street outside is To Brine Ownself Be True if we can make it to that street it will be clearer but not 100% safe sailing.....

We made it to a Friday!! Congrats and have a great day....
 
snowed here over night, but only a couple inches. Weather said it would be ending later this a.m. , but it already had stopped. Still cloudy & overcast, so......no idea if it will start again. It is supposed to snow every day til Tuesday????? Who knows? But a bad storm IS brewing.....with snow, ice, etc. on it's way. Arrival is unknown right now.
Want to laugh? The guy who manages everything here got married a couple weeks ago, and is now living about 15 miles away. (he used to live right here) So, whereas we used to be plowed, shoveled, etc. pretty soon after a snowfall or storm......not any more. Our monthly dues pay for the mowing of grass or clearing of snow......will be interesting.
There was never any sort of homeowners' meetings in the past, but with elders or disabled people being unable to get around safely, am sure there will be grumbling.
 
They might go out and try to make a snow man but I’m not sure it’s great snow man snow. It’s kind of powdery. They did put out bowls to make snow ice cream
 
Thanks for the pictures, Kat. Ugh! I don't like the looks of that hill. Memories of time in PA. But looks like the trucks were out to do whatever was needed to be helpful. Glad you got your internet back.

Robin, any word on your son yet? Your weather forecasts don't sound encouraging. Not being used to having it go on and on and on, you're probably like me and just want to be able to say, "I'm so over this!" (That's what I'm thinking this morning).

Kris, 12 inches! Blah is putting it mildly. Enjoy the snow ice cream. Brings back good memories of when my mother used to make it for us. I did it a couple of times for my youngest son but it was never as good as I remembered from my own childhood.

Poirot, it still seems strange that others are getting more snow than you. Uh oh, your manager may be getting some loud protests if he doesn't take care of the business of keeping access open and clean for the residents, and rightfully he should get the message loud and clear.

It snowed more here overnight but wasn't much below freezing and has been melting all morning as the sun has been breaking through in short spurts. Clouds will be gone by tonight so will get into the 20s*, freezing anything that has remained wet. After tomorrow we'll see warmer days, and mild freezes overnights. Yes, I'm definitely over this!

My niece called. Her cows were about to stampede her (their pasture is around her house, though she has a fence around her yard), so she went ahead and fed them. Mine are off about 3 miles from here so out of sight, but she's was going to go ahead and go feed them while she was hooked up and ready. She wanted me to stay home in case she had trouble so she could call for help. She said the roads are really slick.
 
No snow here
Dark clouds gathering may rain
At Burnt Biscuit about to have lunch.
Worked 6 to 12
Lots of cleaning to sanitize and kill germs. With 5 kids in the center and school in session germs are everywhere

It's cloudy and 35 now. It took three short times going outside to get half of my driveway done. I noticed going out the
2nd time the snow wasn't stuck since it was melting. The rest of the driveway should melt on it's own.

OC, the big town is on hills. It's up and down wherever you go. The library there is on a hill. I bet it will be closed again
tomorrow. If it's open on Sunday, maybe I can get there. I don't have time on Saturdays to roam around.

Kris, I never had snow ice cream.

rf, enjoy the rest of your day.
 
We are getting a huge drop in temp Sun/Monday.....not looking forward at all.......
 
Poirot, when you say a huge drop, I know that can't be good!

Sexton, I hope you have good immunity.

Kat, good idea to let the rest of the driveway melt off on its own. I hope the hills will be free of ice by the time you go out tomorrow. I'm guessing the city will have seen to that.

Nearly all of the snow melted here today.
 
Sexton, good for you that you know you have to clean  AND sanitize/disinfect. Most people dont know that! I was a cleaning consultant for our provincial government for 20 years, hence my name. Stay safe.
 
The snow ice cream turned out good.

They are working on clearing roads but it’s supposed to be 19 in the morning so it’ll just be frozen over again.
 
End of a very long day..... Son went into surgery for a deep muscle abscess at his 5am, they sent a text he was in pre-op. Sisters contacted shortly after so it was a short night. We received an amazing 6 inches of snow from noon yesterday to this morning. I ended up calling a group to come shovel the driveway and sidewalks. I now have large snow drifts on what would be my front long if spring ever comes. Once we were able to get out of the driveway we went to the 5th place I contacted for ice melt stuff, then to Target to get a prescription, I also used the Target meager grocery store to pick up a few food items and again forgot the cough syrup. Sheesh.....

Onto Saturday....
 
robin, I'm glad you got your driveway cleared off and you were able to get out and about.

Mrs. Clean, thanks for the info about your name. I thought you were married to Mr. Clean :)
 
I only went out to the mail box yesterday, but .....my driveway only cleared from the garage door, a third down............rest is still snow covered. In fact all the driveways on my side done that way, while those across the street are 100% cleared. No idea as to the why or the reasoning.........
