dont think this question applies to methough I once saw snow on Mt. Diabalo a few years back , and think we average frost on about 3 nights per year
So a cheap plastic snow shovel from Wal Mart will probably do it
weather??

Back in New England they could clean the streets and open school the next day almost regardless of the amount of snow.
Down here in Virginia, we get a dusting or a bit of sleet and they call in the National Guard. And don't even think of getting into town if you happen to get behind Aunt Harriet or Grampa Joe. The people down here creep along perfectly cleared roads merely because there is snow on the SIDES of the road.

It is wild out there today, I for one ain't going outside the door
Went out for a pint last night and met a guy from Florida who said he was going stay in a hotel until the snow went away. No way he would drive in it. I suggested that he might want to take out citizenship and buy a house here because the snow might not go away until late March next year ... and this was a snowfall that didn't even slow down traffic in the city. Apart from a bad truck accident on the 401 there was only the usual number of weekend fender benders on city streets.
And for all you wimps across the pond, it is a balmy -15c (wind chill probably has it at -20; but it has warmed up since this morning. It is getting to the time of the year that Canadians think about wearing a warm sweater when they barbeque. But it is fun to go down to the outdoor rink behind City Hall and skate for a while ... there is alway a hot dog vendor on hand .... and see all the little kids bundled up in their snow suits skating away like Wayne Gretzky.
it snowed yesterday, it was about 11.15 am when i was walking down into Accy from my mates house, it was only very slight and didnt last long but it was definately snow..(or was that just the mist of my spinning head from the night before)
Probably the latter
We had lots of snow over the weekend; yesterday the 401, the major freeway in this country was shut down, the OPP would not allow anyone on it until the snow had stopped and the highway plows had been through. These plows are as big as a house and travel down the highway at 100 kph. I am just about to shovel out my driveway for the third time in two days ... keeping ahead of the snow is the only way to do it. It's nice and still today, and sunny but cool (about -10), and you can hear the snowplows all over the city, getting things back to normal.
i remember it being bad around 1994 in accy, havent been that bad since though i dont think, the snow was that deep people where using shovels to get their car out!!
ooo i love the sound of it when ya walk on it.......i hope we have a white xmas.......and pigs will fly

had to turn the heat on last night for a couple of hours , will probably boost my gas/electric bill up to about $40 (£ 20) this month, hate this cold weather , having to wear long pants and socks
Sounds brutal ... I hope your cold spell doesn't last ... probably a run on sweaters at the local Wal Mart
Just heard on the news that Montreal should be all dug out and back to normal within a week. I hate to think what will happen when winter arrives
