Hey everyone,

For the last few weeks, Montreal's had almost no snow... Well, that all changed at about 3AM this morning...

Its been snowing non-stop at a rate of about 5cm/hour (2 inches/hour)...

Take a look at these pics of my front and back yard!

Note: The snow removal guy removed most of the snow already...

Nice, nice...

I remember a few weeks ago we had about 3 cm of snow here in Vancouver. It was really really sad... what would normally be a 1 hour commute turned into 2h45m because people have no $#&@$� clue how to drive in the snow...

[Martijn]

in the netherlands we had 30-40 cm on some places a few weeks ago...

Nice pictures and a nice place gamehead. I see your pool is covered. Not into the polarbear club? Chicken. It would allow you to have your shaking head avatar again but in real time!

Well for us it has been an ice storm. 830,000 without power. Which for us means no water. We're on a well. I've got a generator to run the fridge!?! and a couple of lights and a fireplace to heat. It'll be like this for a couple of days. No biggie, I look around and there are worse circumstances to be in. It would have been much nicer as snow. Once I left the house this morning, I wished I had had my camera. It was beautiful outside. The world was crystalized. All gone now except for the cold.

Thanks. Oh, and congrats on finding the pool in all that snow!

We had an Ice Storm here in MTL in 1998. I believe it lasted about a week with no power and the bridges closed (so people were unable to come to the city).

DL, do you mean this av?

We got like the same amount here in vermont must be the same storm, how much snow did you get there total? we got like 2 feet.

@gamehead - Yes, that's the av. When I first came to MSFN, you had that avatar. I guess you must have picked it for the same reason I found it eyecatching. There is something peculiar about the movement when it is sped up that way. Did you deliberately video that motion or did you just cull it from a longer length you had? Mentally, I always associate your name with that avatar and vice-versa. I'm sure that you will outgrow it age wise but it will always be you. Now all I have to do is to try to get Simonsays to go back to his monkey theme.

awesome place ya got Gamehead, had about 6 inches of snow here about 2 weeks ago, theres still a lot of snow around too lol.

I love watchin the snow fall from the sky, i hate having to deal with it for the next 5 weeks lol.

[Mocht4R]

If you think thats bad, we have around 40-60 cm of snow, and more coming. There is going to be a storm thats going to bring 30 cm of snow! And no i dont live in the arctic. London Ontario is where i live.

[gamehead200]

We ended up getting around 40-50cm (20 inches) of snow today... Its nuts...

The av was put together while I had my webcam on. It was taking pics every x number of seconds while I was adjusting it... It just so happens that that's what it came up with!

[MCT]

we got about maybe 7 inches (im guessin 5 - 6 ) in kingston (near Toronto)

We're a bit to far south to get much in the way of decent snows. Once or twice a year if we are lucky and it doesn't usually go over 5 or 6 inches at best and is gone in a day or two. People in the south clamor for snow and those in the north clamor for sunshine. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

This past Friday night into Saturday morning, 25 inches.

My brothers car (should have bought a truck):



Terra Grappler says "What snow?":



At the start of the storm:



I just like this pic because of the flag in the background:



And no one can park here so I did:




Oh and my dog got lost a few times but she loved it:

Reminds me of being in Buffalo in 2001 - 35 inches of snow in a 24 hour period, a little over 80 inches of snow over 3 days right after Christmas that year (approximately 2.1 meters).

What a fun mess it was - I don't have any pics of my own, but I'm sure a quick google will find some if you like snow pictures. The AP had this one, for reference (sorry about the crap quality, thank the AP for posting a heavily compressed jpg):

[Tripredacus]

I'm pretty sure that year it was on Christmas eve. I remember that time well. I was supposed to go into work but the roads were closed in the towns around me. I did end up driving to the interstate (which was open) and drive to another town to shovel snow off a roof. The snow there was 7 feet. After we cleaned off the roof, I just walked off the edge onto the snow pile.

[cluberti]

I had flown in from Chicago that evening, and I was supposed to leave that Thursday (27th). I remember not being able to fly back until the 29th, and I barely made it onto a plane that day without getting bumped as well.

Good times, and one of the reasons why I don't live there anymore .

[Tripredacus]

Well I love the snow. I even like driving in it! I wouldn't want to live anywhere else really. The summers are nice and the winters have snow. What more could you want?

haha, nothing like a Buffalo winter.
I live in Rochester so I know what it feels like, I love it too

[Junior2613]

Wow nice pictures there I really love snow but in London... it sucks. It mixes with mud and dirt and turns into black ice which isn't very good
