I spent my young years (1 to 7) in Oakridge Acres in London.
I remember making a dinosaur out of snow with my siblings...and forts.
Also tobogganing at the golf course

Which golf course was the tobogganing course in London? In Kitchener it was (probably still is) Rockway, which has a huge hill.
First pass done but now waiting for the plow, then will have to go out again. I saw one doing the next street over so should come soon, I hope. Very heavy, wet snow. Even so, with the two of us both going at it, we got it in 45 minutes or so.

Definitely Thames Valley Golf Course. We used to go there from Byron sometimes.

Ps. Back to front on the toboggan: my dad, probably me at 3, my uncle (married dad's sister) and probably my older sister) at 9. Probably one of the boys pushing us (they would have been 11 to 15

Trying to recall where we took Little M. There was a hill behind one of the rinks (might have been Oakridge) where we went skating. There's the "pit" or whatever you want to call it behind St. Joe's. There was a hill next to Medway arena which I think was just fill from when they built either the arena or the pool next door. That's gone now. They expanded the playground and put in a skateboard park. Probably others I am forgetting.

My neighbour snuck in and did the plow garbage (as I call it) with his. He does the driveway for the old couple on the other side of me from his place, so he hit mine on the way back. Thankful for having friendly neighbours.

Just came in from leaning off the car. It didn't take nearly as long as I thought it might. The nice bright sunlight did a lot of the work for me. I don't think we got as much snow locally here as they were predicting earlier on Friday; but we got mre than enough to be going on with. Spring comes in 2.5 weeks!

Got car out of big guy's no problem this a.m., got home, plow hadn't been. So, parked on street, let out dog, went down to suggest that boarder get her car out now, if she could, so service could do whole driveway. She got stuck, so M and I next door got her out (me ultimately driving, as I weigh the least and have a gentle lead foot), I got front steps cleared enough that I can walk up them, at which point, my back screamed "no more"! It's packing snow, for sure. Would be a great day to make a snowperson.
Have a goal of a box of books and 3 bags of clothes for the thrift store on Tuesday. Threw half a dozen books in the box today (any attachment that I have to my Mom and Dad's mutual obsession with James Herriot, the country vet, is purely sentimental). I am, thus far, though, finding it hard to part with books. Mainly because the closest shelves are most likely to have the most sentimental or useful stuff, I hope. Also, it's dusty working around here...
And where the hell is the snow service? Maybe they are waiting for it to melt; it is compacting pretty rapidly.

It was light snow with lovely large flakes. Very fluffy by the time it got this far east.

We only got a wee sprinkle of the white stuff. Our snow clearing is done by one of our sons, with the blower we bought and he stores. My spousal unit has started clearing off the car with a leaf blower this year. Noisy but quick and easy.

That's a really nice pattern. Looks complicated! Are you enjoying knitting it?

It's actually quite simple. I'm really enjoying knitting it.
Oh gosh, brings back memories of making all sorts of animals out of the snow, and we also painted them with water colours.

Just keep going....
Does thunder snow also come with snow lightning?

It does. And it reflects off the snow so quite bright.
