We were under a heavy snowfall warning. but the demarcation line moved north quite a bit during the forecast period, so we ended up getting a lot more as rain vs snow. Initial forecast was 4-6inch, then 6-12inch, then 2-3inch.... back to 6-12.....
When I went to bed we had 2-3 inches of very wet snow. when I woke up at 5am it was pouring rain, the snow depth was still about 2-3 inches but no foot steps, so we probably got another 2 inches overnight, but the rain compacted it.
heaviest slush I have ever attempted to move. my blower probably would not touch it (old and thrower could use a tune up) So I just did the walkways by hand and the burm the snow plow left. The plow remnants was only 12 inches, but took 10 minutes to dig out because I could only do half shovel fulls...
There are going to be alot of thrown out backs, and heart attacks today....

ps; this was our third round of significant snow. each one about 3-5 inches melted within a few days, lots of dustings each night. Even though its well over 100 miles away, we get mild lake effect from Lake Huron, and Georgian bay if the wind and temp is just right...
