thats nothing. you should see what get get here in NF canada.

this is the only pic i have of the GTA in snow, and its just in my driveway, never went any further. they use a ****load of salt on the roads here. we usually will have double to triple the amount in this pic by the time our 10 months of winter is over.

My one wish is for a garage where I can work on my car over the winter.

I know I would get a lot done... but not with it in storage

It was encased in about 3/4" to 1" of ice, we just waited for it to melt off as we didnt need to go anywhere at the time. We get a strong wind that pastes rain and freezes it to everything.
