Almost everything has been shut down all weekend and today so the crews can clean up. In the city we got at least 50cm. Cape Breton, though. Yikes!

This sounds like Los Angeles and the atmospheric river storms of rain (not snow) going on, way over on the other side of the continent! It's so rough to deal with.

It's so rough to deal with. With any luck it will fill the water reservoirs that have been dangerously low the last few years. Sort of a silver lining to those clouds.

Sort of a silver lining to those clouds. But how many houses will mud slide into oblivion off the saturated, denuded hills, denuded by contsruction, drought and fire. I do know better, but still, the very idea of Los Angeles flooding is impossible to process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of a silver lining to those clouds. According to the report I just saw on CNN, the problem is the reservoirs are already full. At least the forecast seems to be for less rain than initially expected, yesterday I saw reports that they’d get a year’s worth of rain in 24 hours, now they are saying 6 months of rain instead. I can’t imagine getting 6 months worth of rain in 24 hours, though we get more rain here than most parts of California. I checked the snowfall in Cape Breton, they got 80 cm, which means snowdrifts are probably 2 to 3 metres deep.

Most of the island, yeah, but Sydney got 150cm! There's a wild video on CBC. Fragile Bird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to live in the snowbelt off of Lake Huron and we would get feet of snow at a time. I spent a winter in Halifax once when they got about 3 feet. This looks worse.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I said it a week or two ago, Nancy Mace is a weird Greek tragedy: https://www.thedailybeast.com/a-major-sign-of-trouble-in-nancy-maces-office-total-staff-turnover When your core staff all quits and your CoS files to run against you, yikes.

Zorral Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) She isn't significant enough to anything to be a greek tragic figure. Just a pathetic pos. You need to brush up on your education into what Greek Tragedy consists. Also ty posted his comment in wrong thread. This isn't a greek tragic event either.

LongRider Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Skies cleared last night, so I was able to see stars and the wee crescent moon. Oh how I have missed them! The weather app forecast is for sunny skies all day! This makes me happy. Zorral 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbigski Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 There was still too much snow on the ground to play the temporary greens today even though I picked up my new irons yesterday. Hopefully get out there Saturday before the rain. Should be highs of 50 the next three days before snow again next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tears of Lys Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Here in Michigan it's currently 51 degrees F. and predicted to be more of the same. What the heck kind of winter weather is this?? and right after I got my cross-country skis! Edited February 24 by Tears of Lys Originally had "downhill" skis. I'd definitely shoot my eye out on those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 12 c here today (just under 54 F), thunder and lightning and rain. Average high and low in Toronto for February is 0 (32) and -6 (21). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 We will experience a 40 degree plunge in Fahrenheit over the next 24 hours as its called to drop from 57°F to 15°F by tommorow morning here in my area of Wisconsin. Truly bizarre, im guessing 50% of our work crew will catch sore throats or flu based on their usual lack of immunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
