My work announced that their decision would be pegged to public schools’ decision, so that’s that. Second Wednesday snow day in the last three weeks

First snow storm of the fall in Toronto. It's really not that bad, but I'm here at school for interview night until 8:30--one no-show after another--it's a parking lot in both directions in front of the school, there are road closures close by, and I fully expect to get home around 11:00 tonight.

Generic riposte about how it's not that surprising given that our temperate climate means it snows (comparatively) rarely and irregularly.

Second time in a week my whole school board has been shut down. (Today for freezing rain.) And there was a preemptive no-bus day mixed in, in anticipation of expected afternoon snow--which did come, so that was a good call. I think that's some kind of a record in the 20 years I've been doing this.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 18:19 (five years ago) link
This winter is a bit ridiculous. It's seems like it's always either 20 below zero or freezing rain.
― silverfish, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:29 (five years ago) link
Another school-board closure today--third in two weeks. Before that, we probably had four or five complete closures in the previous 20 years. (I might be the only teacher in the whole board who prefers a no-bus day to a closure. No buses means no students, so I go in and get a ton of stuff done. Closure means I get nothing done.)

this is insane. the entire weekend my driveway was solid ice, this morning about 12 inches dumped on it in a matter of like two hours. spend 90 minutes shoveling my way out only to almost immediately drive into someone's lawn because I couldn't see where the road was. can't remember another winter like this

it has been very dry and windless for the last two days up here, but all weather forecasts are saying it is the calm before days of wind, storms and torrential rain.

Haven't been outside yet to really gauge depth, but looking like 8-10 inches instead of 12+ like forecasted.
Any ilxors missing snow are welcome to help shovel the driveway (4-50 feet, 10 degree grade, will be plowed in at bottom, no snowblower).

40-50 feet! That's a lot of snow. (har har)
The last big snow we got here I want to say was back in 2015. At least, that was the only time I can remember them having to clear so much snow they had to put it in a big pile, just to get it out of the way. I took this photo of my daughter on the top of the makeshift mountain:

We just missed yesterday's storm. On Tuesday night, I had a bedroom window cracked and could smell the snow. But all we ended up getting was rain with a little bit of ice mixed in. Then last night I was out shopping and saw a few cars that had obviously made their way south from snowier climes, which was like "go fuck yourselves".

Not as bad where I am, two hours away, although I think all schools went online (they were supposed to reopen today).

"hit"
Half an hour of shovelling only let me clear a path to the road this afternoon, the car and the driveway are still mostly covered. I could hear the traffic horns on the 401 as clear as music, because no other cars were driving past; apparently drivers were stranded for eight hours there today.
