Weather in your neck of the woods....

[Bannick]

Well yesterday here in Toronto we got our first snow....a menacing 3cm or 1.181 inches that pretty much put the traffic into chaos. They were saying that there were close to 1000 accidents in southern ontario yesterday.

I kid you not I am embarassed to be a Torontonian we have forgotten how to drive in the snow. It is really pathetic. My true measure of global warming....the ever increasing number of people that can not drive in the snow.

And now it is a monsoon rain here today. I did make one snowman yesterday and placed it gently on my boss's car.

What is it doing where you are all at?

Boston--->drizzmal, just drizzmal.

Albany... Freezing rain..
Got about 3"-4" of snow at Hunter yesterday...
My car died on the way to work... Looks like DMC may be getting a new Subaru...
While waiting for the car - I snowboarded a few hours... cool...

And advantage of living in a ski town..

Portland ME: looks like 2" of fresh on top of the dusts we've gotten each of the past 3 nights. If it keeps up like this, I'm going xc skiing tonight at the local Audubon preserve -- open meadows with no rocks.

I Hate PA.

Woke up wicked early to an inch on the gound. Best part was 4yr Old Anna coming down the steps and saying, "Snow! Snow!"

Just had to brush it off the car to drive in. Drove home to play with the new keyboard and had to SCRAPE a solid sheet of ice off the car on the way home, and then after 40min had to scape it off again... the real nasty scraping too, lots of ice.

Right now it's raining.

Which brings up a question: Anyone have a really KILLER ice scraper? I use a pretty standard scraper/brush. 3 ft long device with a 1 ft brush and a solid plastic scraper head. It's purple... which is nice.

Reminds me on cartalk, they'll listen to someone describe the problem with their car and ask a bunch of important questions... and sound clueless, then ask what color the car is and suddenly have an insite into the problem.

The Scraper (http://www.4imprint.com/Products/sku000570/570.htm)

I think you can get it at any autoparts place. The key is the big teeth on one side. For thick ice, they break it up and then the other side scrapes it off.

It also is one big thick hunk of plastic so you can't break it.
