Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦<p>Good Morning <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <br>Does anyone remember Toronto’s Metromelt machines? They were a fleet of 5 large vehicles, $140,000 each in the 80s, that scooped up snow into a heated tank and reduced it to water that drained into the sewers. They were awesome to watch, but ultimately, fuel and maintenance costs put an end to their use, and they were mothballed. They were very helpful 25 years ago, when the army came to help Toronto. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaIsAwesome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CanadaIsAwesome</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Snowmageddon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Snowmageddon</span></a> <br><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/archives/when-toronto-declared-war-on-snow-and-called-in-the-army-1.4950600" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cbc.ca/archives/when-toronto-d</span><span class="invisible">eclared-war-on-snow-and-called-in-the-army-1.4950600</span></a></p>

We got destroyed by the snow storm last night and early this morning.
I shoveled snow last night at 10pm thinking it would make for less work this morning - It did not.
We had close to 1ft of snow and 4ft snow drifts to dig out of this morning.
My poor little 21" Ego Battery Snow Blower died halfway through and needed to be recharged after an hour.
We have no where left to toss the snow... but we're expecting another dumping over the weekend

Same here in Caledon. This is the 2nd heaviest snow cover we've had in the 15 years living here. My battery snowblower (single stage) usually can clean up where I need to, but today, it has to recharge for round two.
Patio season is quite a way off....
Good Morning #Canada
I'm sitting here sipping coffee and mentally preparing to head outside to clear roughly 25 cm dumped on us last night. Many Canadians across eastern Canada are doing the same, with the lucky ones having a snowblower at their disposal. No surprise, if you are in an area of heavy snow, then 50% or more own a machine. Gas blowers still dominate (88%), but battery units have doubled in use over the past decade.

www.statcan.gc.caBlowing snow - Statistics CanadaWinter is tightening its icy grip on Canada and most of the country is now covered with snow. About one in four Canadian households (24%) told us they had a snow blower to clear their driveway or sidewalk in 2021, with that number rising to over half in the snow bound cities of St. John’s in Newfoundland and Labrador, and Greater Sudbury and Barrie in Ontario.
Nothing like a good old
fashioned February blizzard. #onstorm #snowmageddon
Recipe: Old Fashioned, 2 oz Canadian Rye Whiskey, 1 oz simple syrup, dash of bitters, ice cubes, sideways blowing snow
Was out for some pub trivia with friends and now we're home.
Don't need to go anywhere urgently for a few days, and we have lots of food, so we're all set. Bring on the snow.
With a large storm threatening eastern Canada, perhaps some upbeat music will get us in the right mood.

Do, do, do
Looking out my back door
Almost 30cm of snow over 2 days.
