This was my vibe this morning, on the left, and my wife's Saturn wagon on the right.We had so much snow last night and this morning, that the whole city pretty much shut down.Wednesday there was hardly ANY snow at all.15 miles east and west of London there is little or no snow.

With all that snow on it, your Vibe looks like it's turned into an HHR. That's quite the storm!

I think Ingersoll was clear, Strathroy had none, Woodstock had none.The news said it was basically from Goderich then south through London, St Thomas, Aylmer, all the way to Lake Erie.When I got the shovels out, there was 2 feet sitting on the top of everything.

As a Floridian, I got a question, no making fun now, how does one go about get a crap load of snow off your car with out becoming a snow man your self?

Wanna ship some of that down here to Minnesota? It is a shame to be wake up to -7°F and not have any snow on the ground. Looks like a snow day to me!

Maybe not as much of a "snow belt" as Alaska though.

Since living in Wisconsin only since '04I have been disapointed by the snow falls I have seen up here compared to what is often refered to as the "Great White North" or What was had in the "good Ole days"

Makes me glad I live in Phoenix. It's still getting up to the 60s and 70s during the day. And if I park in the sun, I still have to use a bit of A/C to cool off the interior.

I've never seen snow-it doesn't snow on our island; Mauna Kea on the Big Island so far only had like 3 inches.

They make longer ones than that though, you'd really need 'em on a huge vehicle. You can get a lot of leverage with the scraper too. It was cheap as well, got it at Wal*Mart... They probably don't have these contraptions in FL though. lol!And Millster, right on about that HHR thing! That really does look like one buried under there!
