Good Morning #Canada
Does anyone remember Toronto’s Metromelt machines? They were a fleet of 5 large vehicles, $140,000 each in the 80s, that scooped up snow into a heated tank and reduced it to water that drained into the sewers. They were awesome to watch, but ultimately, fuel and maintenance costs put an end to their use, and they were mothballed. They were very helpful 25 years ago, when the army came to help Toronto.

CBCThe snowfall was record-breaking, but the army call stands out | CBCIn 1999 Torontonians were walloped by serial snowstorms, and what many Canadians remember was the help the city got from the army.

Canadians who live outside of Montreal may not realize that this city is recognized worldwide as one of the best in snow management. With Montreal announcing yesterday that snow removal operations will take the next 8 days to clear away recent storms, here is a video that provides some details on how that's done. Over 40% of the removed snow ends up in the Saint-Michel Quarry where it might not melt this summer.

##Snowmageddon update: We are stuck in our house for a few days. Our neighbour with the giant snowthrower had an equipment breakdown yesterday. Might be a few days before he can get it repaired. Trying to decide if I tackle 150 metres of driveway with my little single stage battery snowblower.
Not urgent - we have food, power, internet, and wood for the fireplace. We even have chips.

Same here in Caledon. This is the 2nd heaviest snow cover we've had in the 15 years living here. My battery snowblower (single stage) usually can clean up where I need to, but today, it has to recharge for round two.

Patio season is quite a way off....

A photo of our back patio, with the backyard and garage in the background. In the centre of the photo is a cast patio set buried in snow. The table has approximately 2 feet of accumulated white stuff on top.

Good Morning #Canada
I'm sitting here sipping coffee and mentally preparing to head outside to clear roughly 25 cm dumped on us last night. Many Canadians across eastern Canada are doing the same, with the lucky ones having a snowblower at their disposal. No surprise, if you are in an area of heavy snow, then 50% or more own a machine. Gas blowers still dominate (88%), but battery units have doubled in use over the past decade.

www.statcan.gc.caBlowing snow - Statistics CanadaWinter is tightening its icy grip on Canada and most of the country is now covered with snow. About one in four Canadian households (24%) told us they had a snow blower to clear their driveway or sidewalk in 2021, with that number rising to over half in the snow bound cities of St. John’s in Newfoundland and Labrador, and Greater Sudbury and Barrie in Ontario.
