Nice picture.  Now imagine less visibility than that, on the highway from Red Deer to Leduc, as I was trying to get back in time for the next game in St Albert, and everyone doing 60-70kmh...  I usually use cruise on the highway but for that trip I did not use cruise even once, and there were times on the highway that I put it in 4HI (meaning it's in four-wheel drive) instead of Auto4WD (meaning it's in two-wheel drive and will kick into four-wheel drive when spin is detected).
Prayin' for a 20!

Apparently it snowed a bit today. I haven't looked outside since 8am.

But if there's a lot* of it, here's a fun activity for the prankster-troll in you!

20 cm is just over 7" (I don't know if that helps)

We got some up here but not as much as the Park (which according to my dad) is coming down like crazy

For one days worth of precipitation I would call that significant... happy commuting tomorrow!

10.16cm = 4", 20.32cm=8", 30.48cm=12".  So, 4" to 8" of snow.  That's a fair bit for twelve hours.

...

I was putting the snow tires on the car between 12pm and 1pm today.  The snow started out here at 12:50pm, so just as I was tightening the last of the lugnuts and lowering the car back down.  Perfect timing!

Thanks for the serious maths. I was actually being sarcastic, instead of being angry at Old Man W showing up all of a sudden like that.

Was big fluffy wet stuff too, so brushing off my car was a workout, and then driving was a wet mess -- on the road as well as on my windshield.

Today looks like around 6-9 inches of snow has fallen most everywhere, so I guess the 20-25cm prediction was about right. The wind was a bitch though -- as it is today.


Lazy, you want to brag about the current weather conditions where you are? ;)
