@mcc I saw a guy skiing down the road (well, the mixed-use trail next to the road) earlier

there's a lot of snow

[mym@toot.cat]

@mcc everyone between here and the Atlantic is saying this ❄️❄️❄️

[mym@toot.cat]

[taffer@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@mcc Yup. 🥶❄️

[mcc@mastodon.social]

Y'all there is a LOT of snow

[mcc@mastodon.social]

I was lead to believe this is what Canada would be like and usually it isn't but. Sometimes

@mcc
This is getting to be like when I was a kid. A winter out of the 90s, 80s.

[sarraceniawilds@sunny.garden]

@mcc i remember my dad telling a story of some folks from the states that drove up in june with skis strapped to their roof and asked where all the snow is.
also, its winnipeg. the least vertical of canadian places.

[mr0vka@infosec.exchange]

@mcc proper winter. Finally. We haven’t had such snows here in Poland for last… 5 years? I’m only sorry it was late for Christmas Eve.

@mcc Tell me, does the maple syrup yet flow?

@mcc
This is what I remember Ohio being like in the mid 90s.

[itamarst@hachyderm.io]

@mcc I mean Massachusetts has a lot snow right now, it's everyone

@mcc Winter of ’92 — yes, I’ve somehow turned into the old man™ who does “back in my day” stories from the previous century — we got 140 cm of snow in 1 day here in Sackville, NB. That remains my benchmark, and it remains unmatched. The ice storm of 1998, though, did damage that can still be seen if you know what to look for.

@mcc We were waiting for you to get your citizenship before hitting you with the full Canadian experience.

[djfiander@code4lib.social]

@SarraceniaWilds @mcc my mother saw the same thing in Windsor, also famous for its lack of hills.

[sean@scoat.es]

@tantramar @mcc That storm was wild.

We were able to climb up onto the roof of the garage with the drifted snow as our only ladder. Jumped from the peak into the fresh 5ft of undrifted snow below.

We spraypainted “Happy Maritime Winter" on the ~7ft walls where the plows/blowers cut a path for the streets.

(In Moncton, but close enough to Sackville.)

[tantramar@zeroes.ca]

@sean @mcc If memory serves, Moncton actually got slightly more than we got in Sackville. You may have gotten that 140 cm — we might’ve been 5 or 10 cm less here. (That *was* nearly 35 years ago, so I could always be wrong.) Also? MHS grad, here! 🫡
