Lived here 54 years, worst its ever been for the lowlands (well, except the stuff didn't freeze last night at least). We got another foot Monday night, and it was too much for the Corolla to plow through, so dug the driveway out for the wife's Sequoia (4wd)...and then called a snow day after helping the neighbor dig out his Tacoma pickup, it got high centered on the snow berms in the center of the road. The stuff that fell yesterday was like concrete, wet and heavy. Took 3 hours to shovel the drive, and that is just two clear ruts for the wheels. Waited through yesterday and last night for some of it to melt, then (barely) made it through about 3/4 mile of rutted slush and packed ice to the plowed highway this morning. FWD manual transmission Corolla with Spike Spiders on the drive wheels - probably the best vehicle for snow I've ever owned. Though I forgot to bring the wife's mail with me, oops. A neighbor had the snow slide off his roof and take out the gutters, and falling tree limbs have been taking down power lines, but so far (knock wood) we have only had the power flicker a few times. The house looks like a ski lodge, the snow banks in the driveway are about 3 ft. high with shoveled snow. And my XC ski boots bit the dust last year, and I forgot to order new ones...no way is an Amazon driver coming down our road now .

Hopefully it will cool down a little..... sorry old friend.Have a great day,Thomas

Snow, then freezing rain, then rain and now a day later it is freezing again with some snow. Makes for treacherous driving!Generally St Catharines is in a good-weather bubble, surrounded by the bad weather in Buffalo and Toronto so we geet off lucky.You could be in Scotland, where things are bad :-) https://www.facebook.com/BBCCymruWales/videos/1825878114189270/
