Well I did :p Twice. The snow is killer this year, or maybe I just notice it more because I didn’t drive last winter. I got stuck going to work and trying to get home from work. The roads are treacherous!

Anyone else get stuck last night or today?

I saw people get stuck while shoveling my driveway. Shoveling driveways are a pain (when you don't have a snowblower). Then, there's those darn snowplows, and sidewalk plows that plow snow on ur newly shoveled driveway haha.

well we have been battling snow here for a few months already. But what we arent prepared for so early in the winter is the -43 C it is currently. Now that is COLD, and even for me, someone with anti freeze in her blood.

Take care and keep warm

OH and Merry Christmas

BARTMAN:

Snow not a biggie we Manitobans love our SUVs but the killer is the -33C weather we have this week, try filling your gas tank holding those gas pumps with bare hands almost not worth getting gas.

:(

I heard toronto was a skating rink today. here in niagara there was just huge frozen blocks of snow/ice littered everywhere as soon as you ventured off a main road.

I spoke to my parents today who live in Owen Sound, they said there is already 40 inches of snow on the deck. (inches is not a typo), 14 inches of it came today.

I didnt get stuck though. I drive a tank of a 1991 volvo outfitted with bridgestone blizzak snow tires. best investment ever! I got hooked on snow tires about 5 years ago and havent looked back. suv drivers have got nothin on me!

I hate winter and the snow...ski-ing should be done on wet water. You should live in a place where-- T-shirts are the only shirt required outside. Shovels are for grave-digging. Snowmen are known as drugdealers. Fur stays on the animals.

ha ha :p gotta love mother nature. i live out here in alberta and while you guys are stuck in a deep freeze we have chinooks (warm weather system) come through every couple of weeks to thaw things out. But just in case, i decided to put big 4x4 tires on my 99 taurus. it looks kinda dumb but no getting stuck this year lol. lived in northern ont. most of my life but wouldn't trade this warm winter here for anything.:D

Had the power go out 4 times for a few mins today, Couldn;t make it down to the pet store so now the animals are mad and my mom almost got stuck in the garage when the door closed behind her and got stuck in the ice , good thing she managed to get out because I would of never thought to check thier if she went missing.
Gotta love the holidays:D

i spent 45 minutes today chiseling off the 1/2 inch of solid ice off my car. It took me 15 minutes alone to get INTO my car to get the ice scraper..

I didn't get stuck, but then again I didn't go anywhere with 35 cm of snow blocking the car :) By the time I had it cleared out I was done for the day. It's the first time ever that I had to take a coffee break while clearing snow!

This is what I was up against when I opened the side gate....

It snowed for Christmas and is already starting to go away, roads are clearing again. It was nice to have a white Christmas but now it can go away. Oh a Cheeroke and 4x4 Mich. Alpins are the shiznit! If you don't have winters save up because they are worth every penny.....you can't put a price on your safety.
