well, the rain changed to sleet and then snow. By the time I got to the west end of North Bay I had 1/2" of snowy ice on my license plate and the grill was about totally closed off.
The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) on my Dodge sucks in deeper snow. It wont let the engine rev any higher than 2000 rpm. Thanks to that I got stuck in my driveway. Suddenly realised it was on and shut it off, gassed on her and out she came.
The driveway is totally destroyed, but the good thing is that I will be plowing in the morning. We are supposed to get a couple more inches tonight.

Walked out back and looked down to the creek, guys working. Looks like a pole is up, and a bucket at the top. Maybe will get power back tonight. Now bright moonlight, can see without flashlight.

Good evening all. 35F this morning, calm wind, mostly clear sky. Wind stayed light to moderate, sky stayed mostly clear, and high temp was 57F. First order of business was go over to stepdaughter's house so the window people could measure. He showed up 1 1/2 hours late 
. Was supposed to go to Sherman, wife did not want to start that late. So went for the bike ride instead. After lunch nap and dog walk finished the day.
RNG , I understand some of your issues with Garmin. The map that resides in the etrex has some real goofy issues, Asked Garmin and they said they could not replicate the behavior, and believe that some of the data in the map was faulty. Will update you when I get the map. I can tell the etrex not to recalculate, draw the route in base camp, then send to GPS and no issues. on POIs, even when using 6-8 yo POI data had pretty good hit rate. When starting to use the old GPS V, near Fresno, CA, it recalculated on me when I did not start at the preprogramed start point. Turns out it used a emergency exit as a through road. We knew we were lost, stopped and asked for directions, turns out I was not the first one to follow a GPS back there

This just in from the weather office.
TransCanada Weather
While the weather has been fairly quiet the past little while for major cities in Canada, we at TCW expect a hefty shift in the overall pattern for many.
A strong ridge in far Northern Canada will push colder air down south, particularly for Ontario and Quebec beginning Sunday, December 30th. This trend will likely continue from January and right through February - although become more severely augmented at certain times than others, rather than being entirely consistent.
What this means is once the New Year approaches, ups and downs of cooler to much colder temperatures will arise with likely rounds of slow-moving storms producing snow.
At this time the first bout of active weather for Eastern Canada appears to be in a Dec 28-29 to Jan 4 time-frame.
For many residents in Central and Western Canada, seasonal to seasonally above-normal (and somewhat dry) conditions can be expected - particularly the further west you reside.
More information and analysis will be posted and drawn upon near Boxing Day morning.

55 here this morning. What odd weather. J.brumberg-yes this rain is definitely making life miserable. I haven’t been able to do any work in my yard this fall. Everything is just to wet.

Blame the strong pacific jet stream and a moderate ElNino for the wild weather and a sudden stratosphere warming event which dislodges the polar jet and sends it south but not sold on its staying power. In the end by Spring we on the east coast start to enter a very long drought

35 right now...high in the mid-40's.
No particular plans today...dump is closed for the Christmas holiday, so no run there. I do need to get some ice melt and beer though...
