Even Champlain Place was closed today, along with the Schools, Colleges, Universities, Court House and Government Offices. RCMP advised public this afternoon that all Highways were restricted to Emergency Vehicles only.
Been a quiet day here, shovel the doorstep., snow blow the yard, then repeat in about 2 hours.
Had to fix a couple of snow blowers today. but not mine this time!
A fair bit of snow but I really expected worse. Just came in from doing a bit of shoveling around the doors but figured the wind was blowing so bad that there is no point in getting out the snowblower yet. Up to my knees in the driveway, my waist at the garage side but not as bad as some other spots in the Maritimes.
Final numbers, rumoured to be 55-60 cm. Blew hard here also.
28 hours and I took time for a nap, problem is nap at 8 am don't work so good.
after about 18 phone calls, decided I might as well get up and get some more work done.
I measured 56cms in the main part of my driveway from garage all the way down to the road. Plow left a nice bank that was more than that lol. The side area of the driveway where I normally park vehicles was well over 3 feet. I figure the wooded area stopped the snow and created a nice little drift.
Laying low here, don't want to attract attention as we've been pretty much spared lately. But been there before, many times, so I feel your pain guys !!! Hope things calm down as Mid Winter Party only a short time away !!!
Depending on the storm track we will get either Truro's dump of 25cm or Halifax's 15 cm or even somewhere in between. The fun of living on a weather boundry
