Pujah Posted February 11, 2007 MEXICO, New York (AP) -- Before weekend squalls add to the 8 feet of snow already on the ground, the communities along eastern Lake Ontario needed the dry respite they got Friday. "Have to move fast. Want to at least get it off my roof," said Ray DeLong, 75, as he carved a path to his driveway with a snowblower and two contractors pushed streams of snow from the roof of his two-story home. Snow squalls off Lake Ontario have dumped snow by the foot onto Oswego County communities since Sunday, leading Gov. Eliot Spitzer to declare a state disaster emergency. (Watch how parts of New York are digging out of the snow ) Parish and Scriba had about 8 feet of snow since the squalls started, according to the National Weather Service. Mexico Mayor Terry Grimshaw said his village was blanketed by 7 feet. CNN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baluug Posted February 11, 2007 ^Rudy, I thinks you gotta get out of that smog-infested hole called L.A. Come to Calgary!! You'll be like that guy on Flight 13 who was complaining about all the snow in Minnesota and then the dog starts chasing him around!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted February 15, 2007 Snow, aha? This is how it looked like today in Koronto and the rest of Southwestern Ontario. Believe or not, those are cars under the snow. NB, some of those pics are Hamilton. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted March 3, 2007 Another day, another baraf. This time, it not only snowed. First the ground already had too much snow on, then came a real unexpected snow, then came the icy rain, then the heavy snow, then blizard, then mother of all, a winter storm of winds so strong kor ayee kuu qaadayeen. Poor Koronto. This person must be a diehard environmentalist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miriam1 Posted March 4, 2007 With all the recent warm weather in toronto, i lost my daily habit of deciding what I wear by checking the weather channel(CP24)early every morning..walahi that Thursday storm taught me a lesson...trying to step on people's remaining footprints..so I didnt have to go Smashing in inches high snow with my sneakers..painful..but it kinda makes u feel better about that whole Global Warming scare...I prefer the snow lakin to the horrible black ice that is everywhere now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
