Oh yeah they always do a great job on those. Only a handful of times it's tough....ice or something like that (down trees, snow coming down to hard to see) screws up things. Secondary roads can be deep but that's never an issue.

That's fast! Torontonians are wimpy, we got 114cm in 1999 and they had to call in the military to dig the city out. That was way before I lived here.

Drove all the way to Scarberia to get cannolis and they were sold out, guess you have to be there before noon if you want any. >:( Okay give me six strawberry tarts. That'll be $23.73 :shock:

Found in the east end of Toronto. An entire city (600 000+) of hoodlums, scumbags, druggies, gangsters etc. Also known as Scarborough, Scar-town, Scarlem. Was notorious in the early 90's as the crime capital of Canada. The population is generally low-brow.

Actually before covid times......I would've been driving right in the 2" per hour and not thought twice. Good equipment and experience help......especially with knowing when it's too much and how to go back.

I was four in January ‘66 when two snowstorms back-to-backed the DC area. I remember that once dad had shoveled the driveway, I could not see over the sides.

Yeah, we don't usually get this type of snow till February March. It was a cold snow....fine and light but with that much it was a lot of work to move.

lol that's it. Lots of low income high rise apartment buildings and townhouse complexes. I've been to Scarborough Town Center mail once and we had to evacuate becuase of a gang shooting.

Were you old enough to go out and dig forts in the snowbanks?

two inches per hour is outside my comfort zone. My last two years of high school I commuted from Orillia to Barrie through some crazy snow storms in a ancient beat up volvo. I just took my time and eventually got there. The absolute worst are city jackass' in pickup trucks who think they're invincible then have no idea what to do once they start to lose control. And people who tailgate when you're in the slow lane. :finger:

41 inches was the official weather report, highest snowfall total in the state . WTF , and now I have no internet. Took me 6 hours to get my driveway opened up enough to get out of here and go get my snow blower. Then 3 hours at the rental. Probably half done with each of them. That's probably the biggest snowfall we've had in like 30 years

No forts. I was bundled up in this robin’s-egg-blue straitjackety snowsuit thing that left me with impressions I finally have the vocabulary to express.

I can’t move
I can’t use my hands in these lobster claw things
I can’t see over the top
I don’t like cold
Get me out of this confining itchy thing
Winter sux
Parents, end this enormity
