Your Weather, 2026

This is what everyone woke up to today. What's so funny is this was already the most brutal winter! The entire city is closed down, everything, highways too. Snowmobiles are driving on what used to be streets, now winter trails. Side streets aren't plowed so nobody can move. I shoveled steps for 2 older neighbours, the kids did another 2 neighbours and DH did 2 neighbours too plus ours. Snowblower ran for 4 hours, went through 2 tanks and filled it up a 3rd time to park it. Over 2.5 feet fell in 12 hours and the drifts are 4 to 5 feet tall. The steps I shoveled were all 5 stairs, and all of them were totally buried right to the top. Craziest winter of my lifetime. So strange to see the snowblowers going through banks that are way taller than the snowblowers!

Got these from the news

that's the kind of stuff i remember from living up north too. just life. it melts eventually. the houses were built up there with the front porch and first floor about 1.5m off the ground level so you'd have someplace to shovel snow when winter kept going on and on. sometimes we'd have snow drifts half way up the ground floor windows (2-3m).

we've hardly had any snow at all recently. mostly rain.
