OT: The Big One Came

Hi all. Anybody here from the Midwest U.S. or East Coast get hammered with snow? Good thing I have Big Bertha (my snowthrower), I had to deal with about 8 inches this morning.

    <p>I am thankful to be living in Ontario, Canada and only getting 6-8 inches. I say that because Newfoundland (and my heart goes out to anyone caught in that) got 73 cm in one day yesterday (I think around 27-29 inches?) – and they are due for another 6-8 inches into Sunday.</p><p><a href="https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/videos/gallery/as-daylight-breaks-st-johns-is-absolutely-buried-in-snow/sharevideo/6124606206001/most_popular&quot; target="_blank">https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/videos/gallery/as-daylight-breaks-st-johns-is-absolutely-buried-in-snow/sharevideo/6124606206001/most_popular</a></p&gt;

    <p>It is the snow season, here in Germany, but we had 15°C this week (59°F)! It is supposed to be a bit cooler next week, but the Magnolia is already shwoing buds, about 4 months too early!</p><p>I miss my days in Bavaria, in 2006 we were outside from 23:00 in the evning until 04:00 clearing snow, we had over 1.5M of snow over night (around 60 inches). Now, that was a snowy night! Still, at least the roads were all driveable in the morning and the trains were still on time.</p>
