One storm to rule them all

 



Saw the car and then the radar.  We have solid snow hanging over us.  At  -14C we have all the lakes dumping on us.



Black becomes us.  The Pacific air was shoving the cold, but has now succumbed to a new cold spill, and sort of mushed up with it.  Who knows what that means?  The current spill hitting Toronto is an A7, that will tickle Florida's toes.  With the next one, comes frostbite.


This new one has the full Arctic backing.  It will be an A8 or 9, super big.  

Take that trumpy!  Send your teslas to invade us, we'll freeze them.  And extra natgas?  Our pipes are having a bad day.

And that stupid thing with the overhead runner?  Just like the Ottawa thing, never designed for an ice age.

ps whew!  1 foot of snow with 2-3 foot drifts.  My 4hp gas single throw snowblower was good, but the neighbout had 4 ft drifts and I used their Giant Barrie Machine, double throw.  That took a while to figure out everything, but it had 10 times the power.  Neat.  The weenie cars can't get up out street, and I have yet to be able to laugh at the warmies with tiny electric snow brushes.  Ha!  Electric things don't work in an ice age.  Burn gas, baby, burn.
