I went to the library at the north end of town. I live in the south end. It was raining on my way home. Some of the drops had a bit of structure. Fortunately it's 3 degrees so unlikely to snow. Of course it is possible and may be snowing at higher elevations.
 
Living on the other side of the world skews your sense of time. If you ever move back, you are going to have the absolute worst jetlag.
 
Just watched our service on-line, as I was pretty well snowed in this a.m. 32 cm of snow since this morning. Took boarder and I a full 3 1/2 hours, with some breaks, to clear driveway. Got that freakin' snow machine stuck a few times, knocked boarder's mirror out of position, but we got it back. Big guy couldn't help because he was stuck too. Made it over to have a little birthday celebration with the big guy, but I had to park up the street. And the poor guy plowing the No Frills' Plaza parking lot was just having kittens working around the cars...
 
Increasingly, the problem is where to put the snow. Need to perfect the technique of blowing it down the driveway, then go back and forth along the end.

Wait... am I living on the other side of the world? I thought you all were living on the other side :unsure::D

Yes, I can vouch for that jetlag though, based on my travels to and fro in the past

Two senior ladies, a snowblower that way outweighs the operator by at least 3 times and is so wide that getting it by the cars can be a nightmare of stalling/getting stuck/hitting/bumping mirrors. (If get totally to the left, I have to climb over the shift and the parking brake...) Big guy has to wait for his service before he can get out and help. Young couple across the street who like to park on the street right behind my driveway don't help. I am exhausted and often in tears. Played with? Not so much. If it melts gradually, it will be good for local trees and perennials. But only "amazing stuff" for those who don't actually have to live in much of Canada.
 
I grok
Majority of peeps here are retired and elderly
Good thing we have such a good community with neighbours willing to help
Hopefully your community is similar

We aren't allowed to put our snow out on the street. Our yards have mini ski hills! When I am out in the car I always look for kids playing on them but don't see many. My 12 year old grandson always invites friends to their acreage to dig out a cave in their pile of snow. Parents supervise and make sure they are safe. I think they are hoping to make a snow fire mound this year.
 
My kids loved those mounds of snow when they were little. We always made sure to pile up the snow away from the road.

I used to work in East York. Many of the homes around the hospital were semis with small yards. Where to put the snow became an issue some winters.
