Well this past week had 2 days with freezing rain, one with light snow another dense fog, tonight calling for snow , sunday monday tues calling for snow, thursday and friday snow and saturday rain, looking pretty typical here for the way things have been for this year, some areas here have experienced minor flooding due to heavy snowfalls and sudden warm temps along with rain, the river flood plains really are quite flooded, I won't complain about the sudden warm spells and rains we have had this winter as it has gotten rid of a lot of snow, if we had stayed cold like normal winters I would not have nowhere to shovel all the snow, the last major snowfall we had was bad enough, the snow banks where higher than the car so made getting onto the road or turning at non traffic light intersections a pain as you could not see oncoming traffic, just had to pray no cars were coming too fast and your timing was right. I did notice a lot of people were getting fed up with snowplows plowing snow into the end of their driveways inorder to widen the roadwau and had taken to parking their cars right at the end of the drive way to the edge of the snowbanks inorder to prevent the snowplow drivers from pushing the snowbanks back
As for records it was easiest to look under city of toronto -- very likely this coming week with the snow falls expected the alltime record for most snowfall in a season will get broken that was set in the winter of 1938/39 and we are still expected to get another month or more of winter weather http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_20677.aspx
daily snowfalls and most snowfall records for the month of March has already been broken because of the heavy snowfall we have had this year when all the snow and the heavy spring rain do finally come some flooding will occur in some areas I am on high ground so not a problem for my home but could cause me some inconvenience getting to work as the road to has already flood once this year which I have not seen occur before in the 16 years I have lived in this area
I guess we should count ourselves lucky. Apparently, only one person died. I shudder to think how bad it could really have been. We could have had an inch of snow. I guess that dying really caused that person some inconvenience.
