The "We" is the city in which I live, which is closer to Lake Erie than the city that I moved from last year.
What did we escape? That white stuff....snow. The city "L" received at least 22 cm of snow overnight and apparently at 9:30 a.m. it is still coming down, so people there will be digging several times today. In looking at what people have wrote on FB there have been several accidents happening. Some people never learn to drive in Winter weather. The police always say " If you see snow, drive slow". The plough's and salt and sanders will have a busy day today, and by the look of the forecast possibly for the balance of this week.
"L" always get more snow, as it is in line for the streamers full of snow, which are picked up from the winds blowing over the open waters of Lake Huron. The wind picks up moisture in the air, the cold then changes it to snow and dumps it in it's path over the area.
In "St. T" it looks as if we have had possibly 4 - 5cm of snow. This snow is the fluffy kind, with flakes drifting down, just like they should. No wind today, so there will be no drifts, not in this area anyway.
My quilting meeting is this afternoon so it appears to be an OK drive, as the snow is going to taper off late this morning. I don't mind driving in the Winter, however, it is the other people on the roads I don't like to see driving as if there is no tomorrow.
Have a great day
Cheers
I agree about the other drivers, Pat. We have been lucky too. I don't want to jinx our area but we have only had one significant snowfall so far this winter and currently there is little snow on the ground. I haven't even had to get my snow boots out!
