Around 40cm of white fluffy snow arrived from the sky between Saturday and Sunday... that's just about 16" deep. And that was added to more snow that fell earlier in the week, the total being more like 63cm. Definitely a Winter Wonderland.... but not everyone appreciates it. Driving was horrible, nobody slows down to accommodate the weather conditions, and there were loads of fender benders and cars getting stuck in the snow. Toronto police issued 2,393 tickets to vehicles parked on snow routes.
I was visiting Younger Son and family for a couple of days, so I just stayed where I was for an extra night and avoided the chaos, driving home on relatively clear highways in the morning.

You’ve had more than you share of snow this year. Take it easy with the shovelling.
ReplyDeleteMy driveway is shovelled by a contractor, so all I have to do is look out of the window and watch the snow being cleared!!
DeleteThankfully I've never had to drive in snow. Las Vegas hardly ever gets snow.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your visit and comment.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a LOT of snow! We haven't been back to Chicago in winter in such a long, long time. It's rather hot in Hawaii right now.
Wow, you got buried. Stay safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteThat is a LOT of snow. Glad you got home safely.
ReplyDeleteSmart to stay the extra time. And having kids to play with in the snow is close to the best thing there is. I see that your son (?) is a snow lover. Frankly, I am glad that I am a long, long way from the GTA. If we don't get a plough on our rural road for half a day, it matters not at all. And my guy has the ultimate in snow removal gear for the laneway - a Kubota with a heated cab that drives straight. After many, many years backing up the tractor with an auger on the PTO, and getting facefuls of snow, he is revelling in his latest, um, toy. Well, no, not this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow that sure is a lot of snow!
ReplyDelete...I live in Rochester, NY which historically receives a lot of snow. Recent years have been mild, but this year we are having snow like your. Take care and stay warm and well.
ReplyDeleteSnow is perfect for playing around...for kids and growing kids ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures !
Have a nice evening !

Wow. I bet the kids loved it though. I swear Canadians must have the healthiest kids,. Good idea to wait before driving home.
ReplyDeleteForever now, I will call them, "big arse snowblowers" lol. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSaskatchewan has had very good snow this year. I hope for a slow melt as we need moisture not runoff
