How much snow was that?

Canadians handle weather extremes pretty well, but yesterday's storm that hit south western Ontario was exceptional even by our standards. In approximately 12 hours, 60 cm, or 2 feet of snow fell in the snow belt region east of Lake Huron.

Thankfully, the snow was not whipped by strong winds so we did not have to deal with blizzard conditions.

The bumps are cars in the parking lot. Where will the plow put all that snow?

How do you like my daughter's car? She worked the night shift at the hospital and it took her most of yesterday afternoon to dig her way out to the road. The city was shut down, but hospital staff, like other essential workers, do not get a "snow day".

The storm passed. The roads are being cleared and here is a winter wonderland!
