Winter Scene - March 9, 2008

Yup, and it is indeed weird.

**jvincent** · 03-09-2008 04:09 PM

I just looked out the window and they have "plowed" my street.

It's now about 1.5 lanes wide. My best guess is that the snow bank is about 3 or 4 feet from the edge of the sidewalk. I probably have a good 15 feet to shovel if I want to get my car out.

I'm going to wait a couple of days to see if they plow the sidewalks and take the snowbanks away first.

Me too

I am still waiting for my street to be cleared.

I heard and saw the lightening last night while shovel. I thought it was best I put my shovel away.

Hey sorry I missed your BD Steve, hope you had a good one

**Fallys0820** · 03-09-2008 06:19 PM

Yep, I caught the lightning last night, and at first, the lady and I thought it was just the flash and sound of the plows until we realized that it was far to bright to be the plow lights!

It's been a rare winter for me, that's for sure.

I would be willing to bet that your Ward Councillor's street is plowed though.......

**ironmaster15213** · 03-09-2008 08:09 PM

Wow!!!! I don't think I've seen snow anywhere like that since 1997, and that wasn't as bad as what you have now. well I guess the grass will stay protected from frost till the Ryder cup event

My family is having a good old laugh at me for not moving to Victoria!

Wasn't going to post on this topic, but since you mentioned Victoria...

Was just looking at this thread and saying to my wife how happy I am that we moved here. Golfed yesterday too, and I'm just off to the range.

OK, I'm done now...

**MusicMan** · 03-09-2008 09:47 PM

the plow just went by my street not long ago. my street which is 2 lanes is now a very uncomfortable 1 thanks to stupid people who decided to park on the side of the friggen street last night!!

**Sensgirl** · 03-09-2008 10:35 PM

The snow on our street was so deep that the plow even got stuck.

**Eldred** · 03-09-2008 10:43 PM

Sent these to our friends and family at the tropical part of the world..
According to the fence line, we have 6 foot deep of snow in the backyard!!

**MusicMan** · 03-09-2008 10:58 PM

Som i want your snowblower!!

**Eldred** · 03-09-2008 11:03 PM

If you could track down which of my neighbour is "borrowing" it, you can have it next...

Som,

You didn't even offer to come over and blow out our snow and we're practically neighbours! lol

I'll make sure that Pete puts you at the bottom of the batting order this year!

You got a paper? Lucky stiff! No sign of our paper guy. We haven't seen a city plow on our street since Thursday! Appleseed has been (about 11:00 last night and around noon today), so the driveway is immaculate, but the street is a disaster. Guess I'll have a discussion with my councilman in the morning!

P.S. Dan, looks like the system didn't make the time change last night.

And I was just thinking how much I miss the snow out here in Victoria. On the plus side, at this rate there will still be snow when I get back in May.

**hoolio** · 03-10-2008 12:04 AM

I almost got run over by the same plow twice last night. I think the driver was trying to take out his frustration with the snow, and I was the unlucky (or lucky?) recipient of his rage.

**sillywilly** · 03-10-2008 12:06 AM

i threw my friends dog into the snow... not knowing how deep it was and the dog got stuck. We had to ge ta shovel and dig him out. It was pretty funny but friend was freaking out. I don't think I'm allowed over for a while

**mpare** · 03-10-2008 12:12 AM

That's what you get for not offering him a beer.

i want to punch our plow guy in the face. The guy charges us upfront and then doens't show up and when he does we've already paid someone else to do it.
