Donky Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 We got just under a foot on the ground here in my yard. Not good snow for snowmen but is great for our sled run by the side of the house. Weather Network says it is cold until Thursday, but looking at the maps and satellite pics....I don't see what they see. I think the cold will persist longer than that...

>you Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) I don't know where you are...you said you are not in BC..but if the windchill drops to -16 here on the coast it is like -40 in the interior. no it doesn't. ive been in vancouver in the winter and northern alberta in the winter. northern alberta is definately colder. the wet air does make it feel colder but that i am almost certain is already calculated into the wind chill. -40 is cold. really damn cold.

Electro Rock Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Sunny + really cold = <3 That's usually what you can expect for winter weather in most other parts of Canada, not so much of that rain and cloud stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckyHermit Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) Dear general public: I know it's only an inch of snow on the ground and it partially melts during the day, but please at least run a shovel through your walk and the road. When that snow compacts under people walking or cars' tires, it doesn't matter how little of the white stuff there is -- it's gonna turn to a layer of ice. I saw some people take a tumble around my neighborhood because of that. It doesn't have to be hardcore shoveling. Just a one-handed push of the shovel, like a dry scrape before a shootout.

If it's just an inch of snow, it should be gone in no time. No lie. I understand that people here can't handle winter, but it's fine. You can just drive over it and it'll actually probably melt. The snow just isn't thick enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Common sense Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 If it's just an inch of snow, it should be gone in no time. No lie. I understand that people here can't handle winter, but it's fine. You can just drive over it and it'll actually probably melt. The snow just isn't thick enough. Residents have an obligation to make sure that their sidewalks are cleared of snow before 10am after a snow day - failure to do so is a civic bylaw violation. As well, if someone gets injured walking on your patch of sidewalk, you're liable for injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well, if someone gets injured walking on your patch of sidewalk, you're liable for injuries. That's insane. Just wait until the snow really comes down and the snowbanks come. In just about every other city, the snowbanks in suburban areas prevent people from using the sidewalk. It wasn't dangerous either, since nobody was stupid enough to drive fast. That is a really stupid bylaw though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi Babe Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 The only good thing about it dropping to -30 tonight is that it won't be snowing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's common sense, and it's basic exercise, what's the problem? Feeling lazy? Buy some salt, clear what you can and apply salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdehaan Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 On the weather network it said its supposed to get up to 8 degrees by friday You cannot rely on the Weather Network 5 days in advance. Heck you can't even rely on them 2 days in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EX_Bert_Worshipper Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Think of the mail man! Won't someone please think of the mail man!!!! Speaking of the clearing of the walks...how does it work for people who are disabled or elderly? If they don't have family to help them, that must suck. So, people if you have a disabled or elderly neighbour...think of them and give them a hand, will yah? Won't someone please think of the disabled and elderly neighbours!

I understand that people here can't handle winter, but it's fine. You can just drive over it and it'll actually probably melt. The snow just isn't thick enough. Not everyone drives. In fact, some people make it a point to avoid driving in the snow. Hence, driving over even a teeny bit of snow would result in ice, which could result in people slipping. Again, I saw so many people nearly slip on the black ice caused by compressed snow in my neighborhood. Ice is slippery in any quantity.
