Blizzard Expected

Post by ontario claret » Mon Mar 13, 2017 9:36 pm

They're forecasting a good, old-fashioned snowstorm here beginning tonight and going through tomorrow. If nobody hears from me for awhile, you'll know why. From the reaction I've been getting from a few of my posts recently, this is probably a good thing.

Read today that California has had more than 15 metres of snow this winter - Lake Tahoe will still be skiing on July-4. Sorted the 5 year Californian drought, also.

It was a warm spring day in South West London today.

Take it easy with the snow shovel, Ontario.

We all did. We are Brits, we all know that the weather is "changeable."

Sorry, Tony. We've had an extremely mild winter (again) this year, so I'm actually looking forward to re-living my youth, when snow up to the top of the stop signs was a semi-regular occurence. Don't look forward to the shovelling part, however. Think I'll go get the "feast" special at KFC, and hunker down for a couple of days. (And that's London, UK, not London, Ontario, which is one of the snow capitals over here, right, Paul?)

Yes, London, England - with reference to other posts tonight.

I've got good friends in Toronto - and a bottle of Niagara ice wine in my cupboard that is waiting for a special occasion. ;)

All of that build up, and we barely got enough to cover the grass. West, south, and especially east of here, they got socked, but a big zippo here. Places in central New York and eastern Quebec got over 4 feet. Oh well. At least my back feels a whole lot better.
