You lucked out a bit there. I have been working for 1.5 to 2 hours a
day digging my paths around here. I had just finished them after the
first big storm when we got hit with that second storm. Toronto has
been going nuts because they got about 50 cm (20 inches) of snow, it
virtually shut down the city for 3 days and they figure it will take
them 3 weeks to fully recover from it.. Meanwhile it looks like here
the total from the 2 snowfalls is up somewhere around 100 to 110 cm.

My snowplow guy was really good to me too. I think I said I don't
pay him, the neighbours do and I just get the benefit, but when I
cleared off my car and around it today it looks like he actually
came in with his blade lifted and dropped it right at my front
bumper and dragged all of the snow away from it, which was a
really big help.

They said on the news that this is the worst season in 30 years,
although it's hard to say if they meant total snowfall or because
of these bigger snowfalls one after the other.
