Default Weather Warning

I am listening to the radio and the weather forcast for freezing rain. They said expect power outages, tree branches down.

It might be a good idea to fill up the bathtub and containers of water and get your candles ready.

Its snowing heavily up here in Alton (Caledon).

Nothing down here in the banana belt. In fact it was sunny and 'warm' until about an hour ago.

Its on its way! Theres already about 4" of snow here and snowing heavily. Coming out of the south, south east. And I have a sinus headache. My sinuses have never failed in fortelling bad weather.

I hooked up the tractor to the generator. I am all prepared.

I'm stuck in Mississauga, I did the seminar today with Paul Abernathy we finished at about 5:00 pm and decided the best course of action is to stay at the hotel. A few of the other guys are doing the same.

My wise grandmother told me about the first part of that saying...but said the second sentence was not a part of it.

(Yes, I had a "wise,old grandmother", too!)

Aww c'mon you guys.... when I was your age I used to inspect homes in this weather in snow up to my waist, 5 miles uphill both ways with the home buyer on my back!

Only did one inspection today... went to do second.. The realtor called. the buyer left him a message, that he was cancelling the inspection, he was going to have a kilt fit.

Seriously! That is where he went.... in this weather.
Is anything worn under the kilt?..... Nope it is all in good working order!

Toronto must have got it harder than up here in Caledon. High winds last nite and power on and off for seconds but no outages, and no trees down.

Now its snowing again.

The forecast doesn't sound much better for the rest of the day or tomorrow.

I hope you are correct, I'm tired of this weather.

Up here near Bancroft, we got 5 inches, then some rain to form a nice crust, then more snow. It's snowing off and on, but not amounting to anything yet. I got the snowblower out, did 4 driveways, now I have to split wood. Generator is ready, but I dont think I'll need it.
