its amazing how calm and relaxing it is up here. the cat has already hunted me down for a severe petting, he has put on 5 or 10 lbs, heavier than the dogs i think

omg havent been on here since yesterday morning, busy spot. work long hrs yesterday so i could have today off but when i left stouffville it was late and the highways were crazy slow. make it to wiarton ok but slow. i dont understand why people go out in a storm driving when they cant get over 30 km/ph. it was so nice to get to my bed here, had the greatest sleep, quiet, dark room. today of course has been all snowblowing, unfortunately the 25 year old here hasnt learned the use of a shovel much less the snowblower, .

that sounds familiar.
i know what you mean. there are people driving out there that have no business being on the roads in this weather.

[the H team]

it's definitely a quiet day on the phones. some of the shops are deciding to close for the afternoon cause business is slow or their customers have canceled. watch tomorrow be a zoo at work. good thing i'm not working. will be at home getting stuff done there.

What a great day to stay in and watch some movies. I just watched Argo and now am on to Life of Pi. Snow? What snow?

sounds like rodent, watching all her disaster movies.
enjoy.

:D It's a nice day to watch some bad weather lol

hoping my neighbour's rodents are shovelling everyone's driveways today since they are home.

Pfft hah! Their dad is out there with the blower like he was this morning over at grandma's house. Not sure where Danny is but sure could use that machine today. Then there's some moron in a truck running up and down the roads at 70km...unplowed roads I might add. And there goes a snowmobile.

it's definitely a quiet day on the phones. some of the shops are deciding to close for the afternoon cause business is slow or their customers have canceled. watch tomorrow be a zoo at work. good thing i'm not working. will be at home getting stuff done there.

Then why not come home instead? Honestly I bet your drivers would love to not be out in this mess.

Toronto snowstorm: The drive home will be terrible, too

Snow will stop falling heavily this afternoon, but wind will create bursts of blowing snow, making it hard to see.

A blast of winter weather slowed morning commuting throughout the Greater Toronto Area Friday morning and conditions are going to be worse for the journey home.

“The evening commute is not going to be much better than what we had to deal with this morning,” said Geoff Coulson, an emergency preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada.

Coulson expects Toronto will finish the day with 25 centimetres or more of snow, which will be the biggest snowfall the city has seen on one day in five years.

“It took a little while to get the heavy snow into the Toronto area. It really started coming down between about 4 and 5 o’clock this morning,” he said.

Buses and streetcars moved slowly and GO Transit adopted an adjusted winter schedule, dispatching more trains. For the commute home, GO Transit spokesman Malon Edwards said there will be more early trips for people who want to head home early – something Coulson recommends doing. Stations will be open late for people who need a warm place to wait for a ride.

“We’re going to see traffic impacted I think right through the evening hours in Toronto as the storm continues,” Coulson said.

The heaviest snowfall will weaken by about 1 p.m. as the storm moves eastward, but that’s not when it will end.

High winds gusting up to 50 kilometres an hour will cause bursts of blowing snow, creating little to no visibility, Coulson said.

That will make already treacherous roads even worse.
