We got a pretty decent ice storm yesterday! my college actually cancelled, and they are known for never cancelling (augie has cancelled classes twice in the last 15 years :shock

but it didn't turn out as bad as they thought, it rained all day and then it froze over night, but the roads aren't bad and we didn't lose power thank goodness!

It hailed, then it snowed, then it rained, then it hailed...
which has now resulted in wet, heavy slush:X

I may have to put the Air conditioning on for the bunnies

We made a 2 hour trip to Pittsburgh today in clear, sunny weather to see my son, daughter-in-law and grandbaby.

A snowstorm hit, and it took us 3 hours to get home tonight

Snow, ice, snow, ice. Blizzard expected tomorrow at noon - snow and winds 40+ miles per hour. Think I'll stay inside.

Yep, I'm in Ottawa too. Though in the pic, the road actually was plowed. It's a side street, thus it never does get the salt truck running through, and so from the first snowfall right through to the final one, we never see the street itself...just a white layer of snow/ice/slush.




Seniorcats, I think that's the same storm we're getting here today. Did you get the full brunt of it yesterday?

 

[JadeIcing]

:grumpy:Snow ruined my plans!!!

I did have bunnies in the snow...

 

[Brandy456]

Eek, So much snow!.

We got stuck on Aviation parkway (a mini highway) and my mom had to put her 4-ways becasue the truck behind us was honking and my mom was stuck and it was a 1 lane because of and accident. I actually started to cry I was so scared, You couldent see anything becuase the wipers were full of ice so we dint use them much.

It started yesterday around noon. I made the mistake of going out to Marc's to get bunny greens. The roads were unsalted and unplowed. I was only driving 25 mph and still couldn't stop to turn up Stoney Hill. This is a rural are, lots of open fileds and blowing and drifting. It let up a bit last night and started later this morning. So far we have 6 inches of snow, 45 mile an hour winds and a layer of ice under all of it.

It probably is the same storm since I am just south of Lake Erie. The plow cam by twice last night but not today. Maybe 2 cars have been on the road all day. heck, I can't even tell where the road is....

Forgot to say part of the old barn roof blew off taking a little of the barn under the eaves with it. What a mess.

I know the Aviation Parkway - I take the bus to work every morning in that direction, and cross it on Montreal Road. I've found that drivers here don't have a lot of patience, so it's not surprising the driver of the truck honked his/her horn. I think I would've been frightened too, if I'd been out in this in a vehicle today!! I'm glad you're both okay!

Yep, it's the same storm. It hit us today and is still going, though not quite as strong now. I'm not sure if we got the same winds you did though; it is blowing here, and is wicked cold, but I dunno what the wind velocity measured. To take off part of a barn roof is pretty danged strong! You are much braver than me; if I had a car, I'd have been too chicken to venture out in that kind of weather!

Late this morning I decided to walk to the grocery store (about a 10-min walk under normal conditions) to pick up a few things I'd missed yesterday. It was pretty blustery and cold, but overall I thought, not too bad. Well, I was in the store maybe 40-50 minutes, and then came out and headed home. Totally different story! I was walking back headed into the wind, and a lot of snow had fallen in that short time frame...it must've taken me almost half an hour to get back. I haven't listened to the radio today, but my sister said we're supposed to get up to 60 cm (just about 2 ft) of snow in total. That's a lotta snow! :shock:

I know how ya feel Bassetluv.

My moms new car got stuck in the Aviation Parkway. And when we got home her car was like, Under snow. It was reallly bad and still is. Our neighbors were on their was to a christmas party but they couldent even get out of their parking spot. Instead the opend up the food that was ment for the party and let the people shovelling eat it.

 

[seniorcats]

I was scared witless driving. Just wanted to make it home.

Fun things to do in a blizzard.

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

OMG, that is awesome! Did you do it? Great job whoever did that.

 

[seniorcats]

Sorry, I can't take the cridit. It was actually done by someone in Cleveland.
