On the way to work, freezing rain while a few degrees below 0°C (32°F).

Now a few degrees above, so the snow is melting. Since last Friday we went from 12" of fluffy snow to 4" of compact.

They are now forecasting 5" by Friday night, hopefully they will be right.

Only slightly exaggerating when saying I've had 2 days of non-rain so far this year. There may have been 3.

50F and sunny. High is forecasted at 55. Might get some rain later today. I've had enough rain for now. The soil needs to dry up some (can't believe I'm saying that, lol).

Bite your tongue!!!

It was 39 this morning, 53 now. Bracing when walked out the building, comfortable as I was in the office, looking out at the nice sunshine, leaving jacket on the hook.

A tad chilly but it's nice to see the sun. Another messy system on the way for tomorrow.

A few inches of heavy, wet snow fell this morning, and it looks like we're in for more weather in the next few days.

Supposed to be getting wind tonight and tomorrow. Hope the soil has dried up enough. Don't want to lose our pine tree that I wrote about earlier. Had it thinned out a little last Nov to help protect it during our windy seasons.

My contractor was in earlier to open the center of my laneway and clear the snow bank at the entrance made by the plow in case I have to leave in a hurry. He'll be back later to finish-up. I think we'll have a good snow base to go out in the trails with snowshoes.

Not getting any warmer at 2-3C now with frost at night and it's likely to continue into February like this so bang goes my cycling time.

We'll see if it pans out this time. Last big storm warning was a dud. We got an inch or two. This one looks more ominous.

Same, the weather people haven't very precise this year. It looks like ours will hit Wednesday afternoon with 4-6". Nothing the 2 series can't handle.

It snowed for 36 hours and we got about 2 feet but it's the wind that made a real mess creating some hard pack snow drifts. My contractor started at 3am with the clean-up.
