The parking lots are 10 ft and little higher and my yard has 5 to 6 ft snow plowed areas by me. We have 60 cm on the ground
and we had freezing rain and ice pellets mixed in as well. The 60 cm should be gone in mid-late April unless we get a summer
like heat wave but will cause flooding anyway.

Flight delays and no Alberta now because I was going to leave today and that's the only time now. You are right about the
homeless people since snowplows covered their small shelters but not last year.

Still no spring in sight but a good 5C and it's no match for melting snow unless there are days of it.

Yuccaman, Toronto's weather made our news tonight.
Lots of video.
My TV must be on the fritz...there was snow on the screen 😆

I hope it ends soon for you folks.

Thanks Lucky1 hope it does end but it could take 4 weeks when everything is gone.

I will have pictures if the uploading thing works because it did not work last time. I have 98 cm snow in my
yard and we now have 15 ft high plowed parking lots. 8 ft drifts in my yard due to 70 km/h wind gusts.

yuccaman,
We in the BC interior will be envious of your high water table come summer...when we're on restrictions and paying megabucks for every drop.

To keep your mind off outdoors, here's a site you'll like:

Got some pics from up north in McKenzie BC from my step son. There's a mess o' snow up there too. The two grandsons are in their driveway and the tallest one is 5' tall for comparison.

Cheers, Barrie.

Brings back memories when I lived up in Mckenzie many years ago. My friends and I would build snow tunnels all over the front yard when I was a little kid. 🙂 Sure glad my family moved from there.

You are lucky that you moved to a warmer spot. I need to go right back to Florida and start growing palms.

Anyway, I won't be back on this site until, the snow melts away. It's 6C out right now slowly eating away some snow.

Ok, It sounds stupid but when it's all done I will have Spring photos ready. I am not used to this harsh climate.

Don't feel bad Ontarians...
Woke up to half an inch of snow this morning.
Wet snow yesterday afternoon, we needed the moisture.

Not a typical Okanagan spring...might make 8 C today! 😐

here's our 14-day forecast...ugh!

The east side of Vancouver Island is getting hit this morning. Not a problem on the roadways (thankfully) but a rare event for us here in early spring. Yuck 😯

Cheers, Barrie.

Nice pic, Barrie!

Yup, this is brutal weather. Our high now at 2:30 p.m. is 2 C ... BRRRRR!

No sign of it ending either.
Barb

We got some snow this morning. Nice big fluffy flakes, just enough to turn the ground white. The Sun came out and it was gone. We are still about 1 week ahead of a normal spring.

I heard that you all got snow in the west and we had 6 cm last week from a Alberta Clipper. I am back and feeling a lot better! we lost 40 cm of snow so far but
there is patches of grass with snow.

The snow you all got was convective bursts of snow because the upper level cold air from Coastal BC and Alberta. It's cold right now but very sunny.

The snow was very short lived here. None of it ever stayed on the roads and there was no trace of it the following day.

Cheers, Barrie.

glad to see it finally gone yuccaman...

now we can get on to some serious planning and planting...

Palmettoman Z6-Ajax, On

When we get snow here it seems to stick on the ground at 3C above 0C. We can now plant because the all of the garden beds have no snow at all but my yard
still has 25C of snow and another part has 5 cm because of wind so you are right Palmettoman! we can start to plant things like bulbs.

Snow is short lived in BC coast but here snow could last 2 days with an unwanted snow storm.
