all you guys traveling this weekend be careful .401 is closed near Woodstock with 30 to 40 car wreck on west bound lanes .Blowing and drifting snow ,opp say stay off the roads if at all possible .lots of blowing snow in and around London and the 401 as well s the 402 are closed in many places ,be careful guys ,Dutch
Sunny and calm here in Haliburton but my scanner app shows Ohio having huge problems with snow too, multi car pileups, d.o.a. etc
Not good here.
Weather radar shows us as being in one of the worst area's today.
Some highways closed in the area due to weather.
Even in town at times I can't see across the road. Other times it's just poor to bad.
Lots of snow earlier and now it's windy. Not going to blow out the driveway until tomorrow morning. I hope the wind dies down a bit! Blowing snow in -30 weather sucks. Blowing it when the windchill is -40 sucks more!
Working out in it all day is not a lot fun either
The southern end of Lake Huron (Forset area) is basically impassible.
Vehicles stuck in the middle of the roads & roads closed where they have barriers available.
Many in the ditches also.

woke up this morning at 530 freezing no hydro .till now just came on .boy it does not take long to cool off in the house when it is minus 28 this morning .my sisters place is two miles up the road and she has one pipe going upstairs that froze ..not good .I have a gas fireplace down stairs that at will keep the pipes from freezing here .Dutch
I'm kind of in the same boat dutch, except the ignition on my furnace stopped working (thought it was kinda chilly overnight). Gas fireplace is on until a repair person gets here with a new ignitor. -25 here plus wind chill.Quote:

At 8:30 this morning the thermometer at the back of the house read - 25 , a bit chilly the dogs don't waste time when we let them out.
About -30 here in Mississauga,the dog has decided we are not going for a walk today.
Still -20 here yet today
Airports are messed up to!
Flight out of Timmins kept being delayed and delayed as the plane from Toronto was delayed there. Finally got out of Timmins but my connector into Ottawa was cancelled, then the next flight delayed, canceled, and so on, finally got on the 4th flight standby, and then 30 minutes sitting at the gate waiting for a fuel truck, because, and I quote... "the fuelers have issues when it's this cold"
Maybe you should borrow some from Air Creebec :) they run in anything!
Finally made it to YOW!
