December 7 - 13, 2018 Winter Storm Warnings: (11 Photos)

 

11.   In recent years snow levels have been pretty bleak here on the East Coast, but this year things seem to be shaping up different as we had a lot of snow forecast this week starting with a Winter Storm Warning on December 7th.

9.   By the following morning we had 26cm on the ground with even more forecasted over the next few days. The wind direction this time was the worst possible for my driveway, it was filled in completely from garage door to the street.

7.   Shovelling out the basement well is always a treat.

4.   Thankfully the pre-season maintenance on my Honda 9-28 blower was complete so the machine worked flawlessly to clear the snow with ease.

 

 

3.   On December 9th we had another 10cm of snow which was much less to deal with, but drifted higher than normal due to the previous snowfall.

 

 

2.   On December 13th we received another 20cm of the white stuff. I wish I had my sled in town as it's pretty decent going on the trails here in Torbay now.

 

 

1.  I'm sure we'll get some rain in this mix soon, but with a pretty significant base layer down and a lot of cold temps forecasted its shaping up to be a great solid base for snowmobiling this year here on the East Coast!

 

Cheers, MIKE
