Here is INCREDIBLE video of yesterday's blizzard from near Montreal, Quebec, shot by "Caro" during the peak of the storm. This area was one of the hardest hit areas from the entire event! 20+ inches of snow will likely be the final tally here, combined with 50 mph wind gusts! Thanks Caro for sharing this!

Crikey! We got snow in Chatham Ontario...THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!!!
Shovelling my new car out..I lost the damn thing LMAO!
I wish we got that much snow here...
We got snow all day yesterday. Got about 6-7 inches then last night at around 11pm eastern it changed to rain. We lost some snow to the rain. Got some good gusts of wind too, Stronger at the coast. I'm about 6 miles inland.
Good morning everyone! I got to get my car out of the snowdrift if I want to go work...every schools are closed today but not the day-care centers so I'm working today... :-(. Well it's almost Christmas (wich will be white!) and i'll be inbreak for two weeks ! Yeah!
Hey guys whats up today. I got alot of snow yesterday not as much as Caro but id says we got about 15-17 inches of snow. Its hard to tell ill know more when i get to work ill even take some pics from work and maybe a couple of videos.
Anyways im off to work peace out guys.
Caro!!!What a great video, Loved the car ride made you think you were riding right along with you! All the whitestuff missed us, receveivd ice in some spots more in the mountains. My girlfriend was blessed and not me :( But at least we have received rain we so departatly needed over the last week.
Nice Caro! I especially liked the big flock of ravens in the road :)
Man I'm a bit jealous, that looks like too much fun.
Anyways not bad here in Ohio with the temp about 19 but the winds have lessened to under 10mph so it doesn't feel as bad. I would say about 2in of snow on the ground and currently some flurries in the air.
Looks like rain for us in Ohio again with this next storm over the weekend, once they find a track they tend to follow the same ones over and over again. Hopefully it will give us a few inches so we can have a white Christmas.
Hey, I just found out that my family in western MD is without power until tomorrow! The winds on the back-side of the storm yesterday must have been major for them. My Dad said that the top came out of a spruce tree about 100 yards from their place and it fell over the powerlines and broke them. Then a bunch of transformers blew for several miles, and now there are probably about 1000 people without power! It's 22 degrees there too! =-O
Well we ended up with about 7-8" of snow here on top of the ice. I am still cleaning up large tree limbs in my yard but getting close. I have to clean up my xmas decorations too because one of the tree's feel on my lighted Christmas tree and smashed by lighted doe :( Lots of extra work this year is making me not like winter as much as I usually do. Still have several thousand of people without electricity here in hutch. Hope everyone is doing good otherwise :)
Hey guys i just got back from my lake effect snow intercept this morning. Well it was more on my way to work and took a detour to intercept. Anyways i got some pics from work to see the amount of somefall that we got from this storm system. Ill post them later. And ill post the video later also.
Great Video Caro. Looks like lots of fun fun snow :)
WOW!! Nice video Caro;)
The snowstorm here in oklahoma was a bust due to the stupid massive dry slot!! Oh well, we have plenty of winter ahead:D
hey guys, how is everyone?
nice pics an video Caro, looks like some nice snow there lol
All this winter weather over there has hit the headlines here!!
Hey Tim, how are you are you?
whoops, wrote are you twice
hey Zack, im good thanks.....you?
how is it where you are then? how is the recovering going from the ice storm??
we are at 40f at the moment with heavy cloud cover....
I'm great Tim, how are you? The ice recovery is going swell, but there is still some 95,000 people still in the dark. I left you an E-mail lol. Something happened on the chat I guess.
CCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOO that was awsome!!!!!!!
Caro, that is the most realistic video game I've ever played. I tried to get the car to run over the birds, but they were just too quick.
I think it would have been perfect with Benny Hill music for the soundtrack. haha
Awesome vid.
Reed, please ban Strike for trying to run over the flock of ravens.
:D
Oh, and my family people have their power back. Nice to know, since my mom refused to put a hat on to help keep warm.
Awesome video Caro! Hey guys, how's it going out there?? I had to work Saturday out in the slush, and boy are my arms tired... :P
Thanks for the comments guys! It was a pleasure to share this with you all!
Now that the storm is over, we have to find some place to put all this snow...lol Snowdrifts are huge ! I've not seen for a long time some like those ! The height average must be around 5 feet! It's beautifull in the streets.
This morning, highways were icy and, wind helping, I've almost visit one of those monstrous snowdrifts... ;-)
All schools were closed and many workers stayed at home so it was calm on the roads...and in my group of kids at the day-care center...I was alone ! lol Big day!
The storm left almost 35 cm (13,8 inches). In total, there's 104 cm on the ground here! Some says that another snowstorm is possible around christmas... I hope this is true!
Possible storm coming in to the midwest this weekend!! there saying here for southern wisconsin it could be a mix of snow and rain..im hoping for all snow! but does anyone know where i can get loops for this weekends forcast?
sad news...a little girl died today buried under the snow...She was playing in front of her house...
Hey guys and gals,
We once again have another winter storm on our hands again this weekend. Friday looks like a possible severe weather event for C&E TX to start the weekend followed by a major snow event for parts of NE/IA/MN/WI and even KS/MO may get in on the storm. We could very easily see blizzard conditions over a large portion of this region. As for the south we could see a conitnued severe weather event on Saturday.
lol I've found something funny...
You know you grew up in tornado alley if...
You know you grew up in tornado alley if...
The first thing you do if you hear tornado sirens during the day is check your watch to see if it's noon.
You don't get worried unless the sky looks "green".
You use the word "tornado" as a verb.
You chuckle at all the facebook groups called "I survived the ___ tornado."
You might go indoors when there's a tornado, but you won't "seek shelter" for anything less than an F3.
You know what Doppler radar, Hook echo, wall cloud, and rain-wrapped all mean.
You've never exactly memorized the tornado precautions, but you've heard them enough times that you know them by heart anyway.
Watching the weather is entertaining. And red on the Doppler radar is exciting.
The phrase "Tornado on the ground, take your immediate tornado precautions" sends exciting shivers up your spine.
You've seen photos/videos of tornados and said, "Wow, that's a nice one!"
You can feel/smell tornado weather brewing a few hours before the storm actually begins.
There's an odd feeling as though you've misplaced something if you make it all the way to June without a tornado warning near you.
You think people that live in earthquake and/or hurricane prone areas are crazy.
You know what people are talking about when they mention the "May 3rd/Moore" tornado and the "Greensburg/May4th" tornado.
You watch the movie "Twister" just so you can point out all the inaccuracies in it.
You know your weathermen by their first names. i.e. Gary.
When you hear the tornado sirens go off, you go outside to watch the storm and take pictures.
Most of the tornado video footage comes from everyday people with camcorders instead of from actual news/weathermen.
You're sure there's a giant tornado magnet hidden somewhere in Moore. And that there are smaller ones distributed throughout trailer parks.
You know that the four seasons are actually: summer, late summer, winter (if you're lucky), and tornado.
You don't consider it windy until the windspeed is faster than 30mph.
You are highly entertained by people from outside tornado alley when there is a tornado watch.
Your school has tornado drills. And you assumed that schools in every other state had them as well.
There's enough random stuff in your tornado shelter that you could live there for a year.
You stand under your carport or open your front door to watch hail and/or thunderstorms.
You know the difference between a basement, a cellar, and a storm shelter.
The weather is a completely acceptable subject for conversation, at any time, for any occasion.
Your local mall has "tornado shelter" signs posted.
It doesn't bother you the next day to find out that your area was under a tornado watch the night before and you had no idea. Unless, of course, it caused you to miss some interesting cloud formations.
Getting to "play" in the basement/cellar/storm shelter numbers among your favorite childhood memories.
You keep matches, candles, and candleholders in more than one place in your house.
Your town will never get hit by a tornado because you're between two rivers or because an old Indian legend says so.
You complain about severe weather reports that interrupt the TV show you're watching.
You can get together all your most important possessions in 2 minutes flat.
When tornado sirens woke you up in the middle of the night...you rolled over and went back to sleep.
You've ever tried to reassure someone by saying that "if anything forms it will only be a little tornado"...and couldn't understand why this didn't calm them down any.
It's normal for your area to be under a tornado watch for multiple days in a row.
When looking at houses/buildings you give them a "tornado survival ranking". i.e., how big of a tornado it would take to destroy it.
You've ever asked (probably w/ disdain) "Don't they know the difference between a warning and a watch?"
You know what towns/cities a tornado normally passes through before coming your way.
From watching radar maps, you've heard of almost every small town in your state. And you know what towns are around them, but you have no idea where in the state they are.
You laughed at everything in this list, but you also respect a tornado's power. And you know that after it's over, clean-up and re-building has to begin.
There was quite a few in there that I could relate to! Where did you find that list Caro? That was pretty funny!
I've found this on facebook... looking for a group of tornado fans...

Hey folks!! Just got home from work!! That list is funny Caro, true too!! Man I'm beat today!! yyyaaawwnn
You might have seen this, but I thought it was an interesting non NorthAmerica tornado (Indonesia)

hahahahaha. Niiiice Caro! I hope you don't mind, but I'm stealing that and making it a myspace blog; it's too good. ;)
Here's some pics of snow in Regina, after the Saturday/yesterday storm:

Nice pics SK! I wish I can have that kind of snow here again... it's awfully nice when the weather gets you a school-day off. ;)
boy boy boy, this weekend's storm looks like it could be a big one! Saturday Night/Sunday could feature blizzard or near blizzard conditions over the Upper Midwest if the 12z EURO/HPC models verify, even the 12z GFS looks good for a winter storm across the Upper Midwest. Could be interesting that's for sure.. And in the warm sector of this possible storm, look for a threat for severe weather this weekend...right now, i'd say anywhere from Arkansas south and east from there...Maybe up into Missouri??
well i can't wait for this severe weather event tim- i have my battereies charged and ready to go this time for once lol
Sounds like an interesting situation Tim, we'll be watching when the time comes... in the meantime, it'll be a clear week except for super-cold windchill figures in Kansas; a 35+ mph northerly wind with an air temp of only about 35 to begin with, and you have a rather cold day.
Hi guys! Are you sure that this thing can turn to a blizzard? Here our forecasters says that it will be 6 C... so it's too warm for snow... I hope they are wrong...

(Perhaps) Unexpected side-effects of the ice storm.
=-O
lol it's too funny to hear those guys laugh a lot! I was laughing too! hahaha! But it should have been painful!
^^^ Temporary website while my friend has the time to work on the real one. The site will be updated Daily or every few days.
Nice work Caro! Cette Vidéo était tres bien! :)
I know 9 years worth of French and still going! Haha. Looks like a nice set-up for some Moderate-Heavy snowfall here next Tuesday.
Thanks Kenny!
Tu apprends le français et moi l'anglais!
Thanks AJ...I hope we get more of it, honestly. Especially over xmas once I'm at home. So much easier to take pics there than it is in this bleh city!
I'm right on the edge of this possible severe weather event. Hopefully it will line up perfectly around me! So much time to wait...
Since its been a long, long time since we've seen anything severe, I think this finally calls for a good AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey guys, I found some old pics I took in both August and then November of that July small tornado that tore apart that bush, finally uploaded them online/updated the album. Wanna see?
Power is still out at our house!!! This is ridiculous! I think I'm going to burn it down and evacuate. At least that will take care of our mold problem.
That's crazy Reed!!!
We got a good half foot of snow here in the Quinte area, the wind was some bitter though. I had to walk in that storm to get to work!
Thank the gods it wasn't a big ice storm!
Stay warm....head south untill you see ocean
Reed, are you guys still staying there or are you still in the hotel?
Reed, I'd build a bonfire right on top of your house: it'd kill two problems with one solution. You would take care of the mold along with the cold temps at nite. A perfect plan... ;) hehe.
While all my friends are stuck in wintery Kansas for Christmas, I'll be soaking up the sun in South Carolina. Suckers! :P
Hi everyone ! Click here if you want to see the snow "growing up"in Montréal... it's funny and amazing !
