My city was hit pretty bad last night. I woke up this morning expecting to go to my classes. I had two tests today. I looked out the kitchen window and could see the snow piled on top of our van. lol I took some measurements when I went out to help my dad shovel. There was about 2 feet of snow on the ground, and about 18 inches on his car. Absolutely ridiculous. The whole city is shut down. Here's a brief article from my local news:

Dig In!

I'm trying to find some pictures, but nothing yet.

WOW................although that is quite serious, it's still pretty cool and seems fun.

Glad you're alright. Thanks for the article.


I did not know that Canada has a London, or counties named Middlesex & Oxford.

In stark contrast, it will be in the 60's here this week, and its warm enough for short sleeves here...Damn, I may envy Canada for her women, but NEVER for her weather...I have some neighbors from Canada, they say they ain't never going back, lol...

Pfft. Your neighbours suck, man. We may have gotten a lot of snow, but it wasn't too cold. I was outside with just my spring jacket on.

I was watching the news the other night, and they were saying the snow was as high as 5 feet in some parts of town. It was brutal. Fortunately we haven't gotten much more.

I found a site with some pics, but it won't let me login. lol As soon as I can figure it out I'll post some of them in here.

5 feet in some places? Dang..that is brutal. It would be fun for snow fights and shit like that though

If you want storms, but come on up to Oregon or Washington! We just had a brutal storm last night. Wind got up to 75mph and it killed 3 people. It was insane
