It is still snowing here. The storm is supposed to stop sometime tonight.

Tuesday is then going to bring snowsqualls off Lake Huron.

I am getting tired of winter and it hasn't even started yet.

Yeah pretty crazy seems you guys get more snow than we do now days lol.

Mind you we did have a lot last year by end of winter.

Maybe it will be gone in a few days?

Seems our forecast is for continuing cold all week but no more snow after Tuesday. We might break a record for Friday night low.

A little late but thanks. Hope yours goes smoothly as well.

Cool! It ain't much to look at these days but we make do. If you're ever this way again give me a shout and maybe we can have a beer.

Lol, it was a one time thing. Dec 26 2008, flew in to drive a 2006 MB E350 4Matic back to Toronto, ON.

I think the stores put all that Xmas stuff out early not because they are trying to get ahead of everyone else, but because they just don't have anything else to put out in the seasonal section. Its just the same when they start putting out bug spray and charcoal in the spring when the high temps are in the low 40s.

It drizzled for several hours, then changed over to snow flurries. The news reports told us we were all gonna die. Then it stopped flurrying with zero accumulation and got colder. OMG!!!! It's colder than usual, maybe we really are gonna die!!

Drizzle cleared the area around the time the front settled in with freezing temps, so ... NO SNOW.
Typical.

We ended up getting 2-3 inches last night & another couple during the day today. Hardly worth mentioning except the type of snow made the roads very slick!

after the snow there was a report on 200 collisions.


With more snow in the forecast, Ontario Provincial Police are asking drivers to be careful on the roads after officers responded to more than 200 crashes across Southwestern Ontario on Monday.

Poor driving conditions and unsafe behaviours were to blame for the collisions, the OPP said.

“The good news: No injuries associated with any of those collisions,” said Const. Ed Sanchuk, a spokesperson with the OPP.

“The bad news is that we still have people driving like it’s a sunny, hot day out here.”

One of the crashes involved a school bus in Oxford County, which at the time was carrying 22 students, while a police cruiser was also rear-ended in Brant County as a police officer conducted an investigation, Sanchuk said.

Most of Southwestern Ontario was under a weather advisory Monday that called for snow accumulations of 10 to 15 centimetres throughout the day.

By Tuesday, Environment Canada had issued a new snow squall watch for the London region, warning of possible snow accumulations of 10 to 15 cm per 12 hours starting Tuesday afternoon and continuing Wednesday.

“Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow,” the national weather agency said.

A blast of cold arctic air was also expected to pass through the region, making Tuesday’s high a chilly -5 C. That compares to the average daytime high for this time of the year of 7.7 C.

“We are asking people to simply slow down, reduce your speed . . . and please make sure your vehicle is ready for winter with a good pair of winter tires,” Sanchuk said.

The forecast for the rest of the week included flurries and a high of -5 C Wednesday with the chance of more snow at night, a high of 2 C on Thursday and a high of 1 C Friday.

I can understand vehicular chaos on the rare occasion it snows in say southern Texas or similar but I'd think living in the frozen tundra would require that you be able to drive in slippery conditions?

You'd think, but Toronto seems to not be able to handle snow all that well lol. We'll never let them forget the time they had to call the army.

Whose army? Surely you don't have one of your own.
LOL

It wasn't the first time, either.

Back in 2010 the military was needed to rescue hundreds of people stranded on Highway 402 between London and Sarnia due to massive snow from snowsqualls off Lake Huron.


and sadly one man died:


some cool pics:


and my own video I recorded from back then:

We got somewhere between 8 and 10 inches. Started Monday morning. Driving conditions were worse on Tuesday morning after drifting etc. Cold af too but it has warmed up to almost zero now so quite mild again in comparison. Still well below our seasonal highs.

We got some snow squall warnings here now. Only 5cm of actual snow projected though but I guess it will be super windy so it will be blowing a lot.
