School was only canceled for me today. I finished Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days because of the time off!
Well, in Texas where I live at, it is freaking cold and there is ice everywhere, I hate it. But there was school today, but I decided to stay home and in my very warm bed. <3
I live in Alaska and the amount of snow we get here on a regular basis would make most schools in the lower 48 close for weeks.
Major winter storm with snow and blowing snow today. The major storm which was born in Texas late Monday is tracking northeast across Northern Ohio this morning accompanied by a shield of wintery precipitation. The heaviest snow along with frequent blowing snow has settled over regions adjacent to Georgian Bay to Eastern Ontario with lighter snow elsewhere. The heavier snow will gradually weaken throughout the day while residual snow will continue to affect Southwestern Ontario to the Golden Horseshoe. Widespread total snowfall amounts of 15 to 20 centimetres are likely by the time the storm ends by this evening. The snow will be mixed at times this morning with ice pellets and freezing rain in the Niagara region. This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.
This winter storm is having a major impact on travel with frequent blowing and drifting snow. Motorists should be prepared to change plans accordingly to avoid unnecessary travel during the storm as conditions will be dangerous. If driving is necessary..Make sure you have an emergency kit..And if your car gets stuck..Remain calm and stay in your car. The winter storm is expected to end in all regions by this evening as the storm centre moves further away over New England. Environment Canada continues to monitor this dangerous winter storm and will issue further watches and warnings as necessary.
The 'Groundhog Day Storm' is pounding southern Ontario with heaps of snow. Upwards of 30 cm is forecast for some areas by the mid-afternoon.
As of 5 a.m. this morning, Windsor had already been hit with 15 cm. The snow, combined with forceful winds and even lightning strikes has prompted Environment Canada to issue a blizzard warning for parts of the region, including London and Hamilton. The rest of the region is under a winter storm warning.
Dayna Vettese, a meteorologist here at The Weather Network says that “the worst of the snowfall is over for the Toronto area and the system is now tracking east towards Kingston and Ottawa.” These areas are expected to see up to 20 cm of snow by the time the storm rolls through.
As the snow eases across most of southern Ontario by the evening hours, it'll be revving up across Quebec and the Maritimes throughout Wednesday afternoon. More than 35 cm is expected to hammer Halifax and surrounding area
I live in the Valley of California... and well... I think we've taken your warmth... We've had some of the nicest days we've seen in QUITE a long while... Have fun with your no school adventures I'll just have to wait till Valentines (Lincoln's Birthday) Day, for my day off.
