Funny pic/gif thread...

There are 3 different doors into and out of the house last winter 2 of them had snow drifts over 8' in front of them , then in the yard or driveway were drifts over 5' deep .

Even in town the streets were emergency travel only if you had a snowmobile , my sled was buried under 6'+ of snow ha ha !

It took nearly 3 days to clear the driveway of snow and get it piled up in the front yard , weather like that will teach you about stocking up on things that are needed on a regular basis , thankfully we didn't loose power !

Yeah, understand all of that. My wife and I went on a cruise in January 2024. Daughter called and said 'you need to have someone plow your driveway before you come home'. I said, why bother, we are driving the jeep with high clearance and 4WD, I'll use the blower when I get home. Daughter says 'no, you don't understand, there are drifts 5-6 feet'. She was right, I had my friend with a Kubota come and clear the driveway 2 days before we got home.

Still, I think I prefer winter to this incessant heat. I have to plan my chores for early in the morning and then get in the AC for the remainder of the day. In the winter, I can shovel and blow snow and feel alive and energized.
 
I understand that situation in Toronto I've been there and had wondered what it would be like if a bad winter storm were to hit while walking to the peel pub for breakfast with a buddy of mine .

What was interesting about the storm I described was they were running out of places to pile the snow here as well , every vacant lot and piece of city owned property had a huge snow hill so to speak , every little kid's dream come true when I was that age ha ha !

Toronto is actually blessed for winter weather….Buffalo on the south side of Lake Ontario gets a lot more snow….sometimes TO is green and Buffalo has five feet on their major streets. I come from a snow belt area north of TO ….an uncle drove a grader for the county ( we hosers called them maintainers ) they had a special attachment to trim the snow banks before the got to the hydro wires.
 
PT109 , that's interesting to know , it wasn't to long ago we received over 170" of snow there were coulee's that were completely covered in snow !

Another interesting event here are the ground blizzards it's possible to loose sight of the road you're driving on , then you have to rely on rumble strips and reflectors along the road .
Even the rams head guard rails can work against you during times of ground blizzards with a wall of pure white snow 20' tall the full length of it .

When I've encountered this I always hoped and prayed that no one was stopped on the other side of it !
