PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Mrs. Mossy: The picture off your back porch out towards main street reminds me of the time I snuck through there between the church and what was then Bradnock's on my Dad's Husky snowmobile to escape an OPP patrol car that would have loved to catch a 12 year old terrorizing the streets of Auburn. While you may not know what a Husky looked like, I'm sure there are a few reading this that do remember them. I am going to say that that was probably the winter of 1963. Many things have changed with sleds and with Auburn since then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many things have changed with sleds and with Auburn since then! Does that mean that you lived in my house? What a small world!!! You are so right!!! There have been many changes even since I was a little girl (1975?)....we lived in the big white house on the hill across the river....they just burned it down 2 weeks ago!!! No General Store anymore, just the gas station/restaurant out on the highway. That church behind us is now a house and the Huron Chapel now resides across the road from us in what used to be a beautiful field.... I swear we received 2 more feet of snow yesterday afternoon!!! I'll take more pics this aft to post....unreal!!! And they are saying possible rain for Monday.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Mrs. Mossy: No, I never lived in your house but I did weather about 24 winters in Auburn. There aren't many places in southern Ontario that get more snow than inland Huron County. The Lee of the lakes ! Ya gotta love it. Bye the way, the Red Maple tree behind the Wintery looking Auburn Weather Station was planted in my Father's memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navigator Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Just received this at work --- "SnowMageddon" ?? WOCN11 CWTO 171517 SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT ISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT CANADA ONTARIO REGION. 10:17 AM EST WEDNESDAY 17 DECEMBER 2008. SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT ISSUED FOR.. CITY OF TORONTO WINDSOR - ESSEX - CHATHAM-KENT SARNIA - LAMBTON ELGIN LONDON - MIDDLESEX SIMCOE - DELHI - NORFOLK DUNNVILLE - CALEDONIA - HALDIMAND OXFORD - BRANT NIAGARA CITY OF HAMILTON HALTON - PEEL YORK - DURHAM HURON - PERTH WATERLOO - WELLINGTON DUFFERIN - INNISFIL GREY - BRUCE BARRIE - ORILLIA - MIDLAND BELLEVILLE - QUINTE - NORTHUMBERLAND KINGSTON - PRINCE EDWARD PETERBOROUGH - KAWARTHA LAKES STIRLING - TWEED - SOUTH FRONTENAC BANCROFT - BON ECHO PARK BROCKVILLE - LEEDS AND GRENVILLE CITY OF OTTAWA GATINEAU PRESCOTT AND RUSSELL CORNWALL - MORRISBURG SMITHS FALLS - LANARK - SHARBOT LAKE PARRY SOUND - MUSKOKA HALIBURTON RENFREW - PEMBROKE - BARRY'S BAY ALGONQUIN BURK'S FALLS - BAYFIELD INLET. ..COULD THIS BE SNOW-MAGEDDON?.. ENVIRONMENT CANADA IS GENERALLY NOT PRONE TO EXAGGERATION UNLESS THERE IS DEEMED TO BE A REAL THREAT. WE EVALUATE WEATHER INFORMATION AND PREDICTION MODELS IN A MEASURED, SCIENTIFIC MANNER AND COUPLE THAT WITH OVERALL IMPACTS FOR SIGNIFICANT EVENTS. MOTHER NATURE FROM TIME TO TIME WILL LINE UP A NEAR PERFECT SET OF CONDITIONS THAT GENERATE A SERIES OF SIGNIFICANT EVENTS. THAT TIME APPEARS TO BE THE COMING WEEK OR SO FOR MANY PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN ONTARIO IN THE FORM OF SNOW STORMS. THERE APPEARS TO THE RIGHT BALANCE OF SUFFICIENTLY COLD AIR IN PLACE, WITH ARCTIC HIGHS TO THE NORTH AND A STORM TRACK ALONG THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. THE TERM 'SNOW-MAGEDDON' IS NOT MEANT TO ALARM ANYONE OR MAKE LIGHT OF THE SITUATION, BUT TO HIGHLIGHT THE CUMULATIVE EFFECTS AND IMPACTS THAT A SERIES OF SNOW STORMS CAN HAVE ON A WIDE REGION. A BLANKET OF 10 CENTIMETRES HAS JUST FALLEN ACROSS MUCH OF THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. BUT A MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOW STORM IS TARGETING THE REGION ON FRIDAY. MOST WEATHER GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO TRACK A STORM CENTRE FROM COLORADO ON THURSDAY TO JUST SOUTH OF THE GREAT LAKES ON FRIDAY. IT APPEARS HEAVY SNOW ACCOMPANIED BY STONG EASTERLY WINDS WILL CREATE A PARTICULARLY NASTY SNOW EVENT. ACCUMULATIONS MAY WELL REACH OR EXCEED 15 TO 20 CENTIMETRES. STRONG EASTERLY WINDS GUSTING TO 50 OR 60 KM/H WILL COMPOUND THE SEVERITY OF THE STORM WITH APPRECIABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND VERY POOR VISIBILITIES. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF ICE PELLETS OR FREEZING RAIN MIXED WITH THE SNOW FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND EAST ACROSS NIAGARA. A WINTER STORM WATCH WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED LATER TODAY FOR THIS FRIDAY EVENT. THERE ARE STRONG INDICATIONS OF ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT STORM ON SUNDAY. IT MAY VERY WELL BE SIMILAR TO THE FRIDAY STORM WITH STRONG EASTERLY WINDS AND HEAVY SNOW POSSIBLY FOLLOWED BY A WINTERY MIX OF ICE PELLETS, FREEZING RAIN OR RAIN FOR MORE SOME LOCALES. TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS FROM THE WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY AND SUNDAY EVENTS MAY REACH 50 CENTIMETRES IN SOME AREAS. THE CUMULATIVE EFFECTS OF THESE THREE STORMS WILL MAKE TRAVEL OVER THIS PRE-CHRISTMAS PERIOD VERY DIFFICULT AT TIMES. STAY TUNED FOR ENVIRONMENT CANADA UPDATES ON THESE DEVELOPING SITUATION. LISTEN FOR FURTHER STATEMENTS. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY ALSO BE FOUND BY CONSULTING THE LATEST PUBLIC FORECAST. THE NEXT PUBLIC FORECAST WILL BE ISSUED BY 11 AM.
