Our significant lake is Lake Superior. We've had winters like this before, but were spoiled by the last couple. One winter, the snow banks were so high that walking on sidewalks was exactly like walking in a tunnel. It was kind of nice though...quiet, as the snow kept the traffic noise away.

I think you need large-ish bodies of water to get truly hateful snowstorms. I live between two great lakes and a fair-sized one. That works. So does the Atlantic Ocean.

Yesterday waves were reported of 10 M height on the NS coast. I was told by an inland sailor one dais that you couldn't have waves that height. The of course he told us we were crazy to dive into the Northumberland Straights ... as the water had been frigid all the way from Marblehead for his crew ... seas change too! And "c" appears to wobble indistinctly, or indeterminately! Maori can read into the chaos ... great Navigators ... can even steer the abstract with grand myths ... read Morris West!

Obviously the inlander never crossed the North Atlantic in a large superstructure 'd tanker ... from which the billows of rest were in excess of 30 M. I know of marine engineers that left UK to Brazil, Venezuela, and on to Newfoundland and say they never say seas less than 20-30 M ... as that was how they lay ... laid out by marine observers ... not fisherman ... got ta be true ! Outlander tales remain ...

Imagine the vaporous pressure about the Bay 'v Fundies base of (large puddles) ...
 
Yesterday's storm reminded me of an old-fashion winter.
I think the significence was in the AMOUNT of SNOW we had in 24 hours. I haven't heard the official amount and it's hard to say with drifts that look ten feet high and nearby the groound swept almost bare.
Today is beautiful. Seelerman is out with the blower slowly eating its way through the drifts. I don't know if he's yet tackled the pile the plow left at the end of the driveway. I hope he takes it slow and easy and takes a break now and then. He doesn't look or act his age - but I know, he is in his 80s and not as strong as he used to be whether he admits it or not.
 
I know, Seeler...My husband is only 66, but I still worry about him and the amount of shovelling and snowblowing he has been doing this winter. He's a bit of a fanatic, and even cleans the sidewalk and part of the road in front of both ends of our driveway. Our driveway could easily hold 10 cars....I call it a 'party driveway', but we don't have a party house! The east coast sure got hit hard. I imagine there is a lot of snow removal happening today.
 
I'm only in my fifties and I may have to break down and buy a blower if normal London winters ever return. With Little M potentially gone next winter, I'm not sure my back could take doing heavy-duty shovelling. He's been doing most of the shovelling for the last few years so my back has been spared the worst of it.
 
I keep an eye on my hubby when he is out clearing snow. There isn't a huge a mount that has to get done but he isn't a spring chicken any more. So far he seems to be taking it easy with lots of breaks. He did actually agree to phoning for someone to come and do it if we get lots or it is heavy snow.
 
In middle to late years oversight is rational ... within limits ...

Don't seem to be mothering even thou' the subject may subconsciously love mothering ...

Then of course for those that have preserved their sol ... it's out of the question for use ... conscious or other wise ... isn't that out of here?

Jaerd in the OT f-unction as a rub ...
 
hi folks

One of those days today.
It is why I am here and why I am doing the job that I am, but, doesn't make it fun.

Time to mellow out for a bit , then back to work again.

Sounds like time for a cup of tea or a glass of wine (you pick).
 
Big sigh pinga - hoping your day improves and you're not working too long into the evening.
 
I am so very sorry to hear this news CrazyHeart. Such a loss for all of you. Hugs and prayers of gentleness on this loving day.
