  1. Just a heads up to all living in the Norfolk County area or have travel plans in or through the area... the county has pulled the plows off the roads... please stay at home. Roads are not officially closed at this point, but if and when the OPP does close them, just a reminder that your car insurance may not be valid when driving on a closed road.

    Interesting, I have a buddy right on the water in Long Point - was just texting him and he said it's definetly pretty nasty there right now - but it's been worse in terms of the water and wind - but also said it's only really just starting.

     

    I think the winds are really just today - as the 2 fronts connect - it will die down and then more snow will fall 

     

    My friend is in Port Rowan. Water front on top of the bluff.. I hope your friend stays safe... The power goes out all the time down there, gonna be interesting today

  3. i just got a report from Port Rowan (Long Point Bay) and it's snowing/blowing so hard you can see your hand. The water in Long Point Bay is leaving and the bay will be empty soon. The water is heading to Buffalo and will come back in a wall that will flood the North Shore of Lake Erie. My friend said he's never seen it this bad before (born there) and the snow and wind will be increase as the day goes on. And 30 plus foot waves on Lake Erie

    What's everyone seeing on the ground.  Was this a big flop again?

    Blizzard warning in effect for:

    • Mount Forest - Arthur - Northern Wellington County

    Crippling blizzard Friday into Saturday.

    Travel will become dangerous and is not advised.

    Hazards:
    Blizzard conditions with wind gusts of 90 to 100 km/h.
    Snowfall amounts of 25 to 50 cm by Sunday morning. Additional snowfall is possible Sunday.
    Wind chill values into the minus 20s.
    Flash freeze producing icy and slippery surfaces.

    Timing:
    Strong winds and blizzard conditions developing Friday morning and continuing into Saturday.
    Very cold wind chills are expected to develop Friday and persist into the weekend.
    Flash freeze possible Friday morning.

    Discussion:
    Precipitation may begin as rain or snow late this afternoon before transitioning to rain in many areas tonight. Temperatures are expected to plummet on Friday morning leading to a potential flash freeze for locations that receive rainfall. Rapidly falling temperatures will be accompanied by strong to damaging winds along with snow heavy at times. Blizzard conditions will develop Friday morning. Lake effect snow will result in variability of snowfall amounts through the weekend.

    Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow. Protect yourself from wind, cold and disorientation by staying sheltered, indoors or with your vehicle. Anyone who is not dressed warmly is at risk of frostbite and hypothermia in cold weather. Ensure that shelter is provided for pets and outdoor animals. Public Safety Canada encourages everyone to make an emergency plan and get an emergency kit with drinking water, food, medicine, a first-aid kit and a flashlight.

    (Locations listed below description)

    Major winter storm expected Friday into Saturday.

    Hazards: Wind gusts of 90 to 100 km/h creating widespread blowing snow which will significantly reduce visibility. Snowfall amounts of 5 to 15 cm by Friday night. Wind chill values into the minus 20s. Flash freeze producing icy and slippery surfaces.

    Timing: Damaging winds developing Friday morning and continuing into Saturday. Snow and extensive blowing snow developing Friday morning and continuing into Saturday. Very cold wind chills are expected to develop on Friday and persist into the weekend. Flash freeze possible Friday morning.

    Discussion: Precipitation is expected to begin as rain or snow late this afternoon or early this evening before transitioning to rain for many areas tonight. Temperatures are expected to plummet on Friday morning leading to a potential flash freeze. Rapidly falling temperatures will be accompanied by damaging winds along with snow, heavy at times. Extensive blowing snow will develop Friday morning.

    Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow.

    LMV that would be awesome. I’d only to see the 16,000 posts of mine that disappeared !

     

    The forum was attacked and all data/backups were destroyed back then and NoBackupGuy that was hosting the forum wasn't Magic Marty. That was a real shame :(

    Not my problem. You dont cut off your leg when you have an in grown nail

     

    I would bet that if they allowed it 99% of the people would be smart and exercise proper judgement. 

     

    True but 50% of the population has VERY poor judgement abilities...
