We are supposed to get it here in the Toronto area too. Can't complain too much here though. This will be the first major storm of the winter for Toronto.
 
We're done shoveling snow and now it's time to start cleaning out gardens and getting things ready for spring. I de-thatched my yard this week and had 18 bags of dead grass to toss out. We just finished cleaning out one of the flower gardens in the front and filled two of those big roll around garbage cans. That gets me off the hook until next weekend!

Personally, I think I'd rather be shoveling snow than cleaning out gardens.
 
Awaiting a "thaw" here too, to finish up my out drive corrosion protection effort.
I'm not applying it unless it's over 60ish..,at this rate, it might be June!!
 
8 to 12 inches of snow predicted here with 25 mph winds.
Commute should be entertaining tomorrow morning.

Splash in 33 days.
 
Forecast for Northern NJ now upped to 24 inches or more! 32 days until I splash......
 
I had listed my snowblower on Craigslist a couple of weeks ago thinking that I'll treat myself to a new larger one next year. No calls until the 3 I got so far today. Needless to say that I told them it was no longer for sale and deleted the ad.
 
Hopefully this set of storms will pass soon!

We launch in 2 weeks, 3 days, 15 hours, 27 minutes and 30 seconds! Weather permitting of course!
 
26 degree's here in Tidewater VA this morning....
 
We dodged a bullet here it could have been worse. They where calling for 18"-22" and I got 3" with an ice topping.

Oh, after the fact they stated they knew it wasn't going to be bad but didn't want to "confuse us"! Way to look out for us fellas.....


Feds knew blizzard forecast was exaggerated — but didn’t want to confuse*us: http://nypost.com/2017/03/14/feds-knew-blizzard-would-weaken-but-didnt-want-to-confuse-us/

It's even been freaking cold down here in North Carolina. We actually had some SNOW last weekend (March snow is not common here).... granted it melted in a few hours.
 
Hell, it was 40 in Orlando today!
 
Global warming! Lol!
 
I think the weather Gods confused February and March this year. The highest forecast here for the next 7 days keeps us in the 40's. We should be seeing some 60's and I should be getting a head start on yard chores by now instead of spreading ice melt.
