Right now, it's a delightful, short-sleeve calm 60 degrees out, but I see the clouds starting to sneak over the horizon as I type.

Tomorrow night's forecast:

100% probability of precipitation, rain changing to sleet and snow in the evening, with 1-3 inches of the white stuff expected by tomorrow night.

Could make the drive to/from c/w lessons interesting!

Move over, [livejournal.com profile] wooddragon! We need to share those extra blankets with you!

That's what we're supposed to get over the weekend - on top of the 30 inches that's already fallen so far in February. That's about three times the normal amount for the whole month. We got 8 inches yesterday - and Barry's in Winnipeg visiting his mother. It took me a total of about 2 1/2 hours to shovel the driveway - I was out twice last night and then again early this morning.

Looks like it might not be quite the storm they're saying it is, but who knows!

Stay warm up there in Canada-land!

2 1/2 hours to shovel the driveway is some serious exercise! You two don't have a snowblower? Usually with Darin on the snowblower and me on the shovel we can clear our driveway in 45 minutes. This year we've had to shovel our ROOF twice. The snow wasn't quite high enough to drive the snowblower up there. *grin* At least now I know where you get the strength to always get me to the right spot in a square. :-)

Shoveling the ROOF is a pretty scary prospect...I thought we were going to have to do that 12/30/06!

The average snowfall in Toronto for an entire winter is about 115 cm (45 inches), and we frequently have a January thaw so a snowblower isn't necessary. Our driveway is 2 cars wide and about 36 feet long so normal clearing doesn't take that long. We do try to look at it as exercise though - you have to see some positive out of it! We haven't had to shovel the roof yet - sunny and about 30 F today, so hopefully some of it'll melt.

Yay snow! I hope you enjoy it (drive carefully!). We had a snowstorm this afternoon, and it's still coming down a little bit.
