My SD becomes a Snow Dweller. Which is good, because like most of Eastern Canada and North Eastern USA, we're getting some major snow depth.

I wonder if the 1200 meter depth rating is also good for 1200 meters deep of snow.......

First pic is of the SD outside in action, the second shows a drfit on my deck from inside the house.

I am glad I do not have to wrry about that in Texas

Tools · 17 December 2007, 09:36 AM

Brrrrr....

I was brushing down the pool in a t-shirt today...(well, I had Levis and a GMT on too)

Gotta do those chores in the daylight before the sun goes down and it gets a bit nippy..

BuffaloRolex · 17 December 2007, 09:44 AM

Definitely snowy in Buffalo today...which is very strange. Buffalo is typically known for being the sunlight oasis of the northeast, with ambient temperatures almost NEVER slipping below 85!

frostie · 17 December 2007, 09:51 AM

now that's a lot of snow

psynaptic · 17 December 2007, 10:32 AM

We're due to get about 25cm of snow by tonight. Its been snowing since early this morning. That HEV might come in handy when shovelling the snow lol

2 storms in 3 days - YUK!
Running out of places to put the snow after shoveling.
We are expecting more on Wednesday and again possible on Friday.
White Christmas - Yeah, I'm afraid so.

marshallr47 · 17 December 2007, 11:15 AM

Man that looks cold. I'm sure it gets colder than that at 4000' underwater. I think it would be fine. Be safe in that weather.

waltk1026 · 17 December 2007, 12:16 PM

I need that much snow if I want to buy another Rolex. I'm in the snow removal business here. So far we only got a couple little deicing events. Send some down my way.

Beef · 17 December 2007, 12:43 PM

The wet suit extension in the clasp comes in very handy for wear over multiple layers of cold weather clothing. I used to wear mine the way illustrated in cold climates.

roadcarver · 17 December 2007, 12:44 PM

I'm snowed in as well.... shovelled my driveway and walkway three times today. Ah... to be in Canada, eh?

Rockrolex · 17 December 2007, 12:56 PM

We missed the event they were calling for here in DC. For the past few days all the weather guessers were calling for a snow/ice/and the ol' wintery mix. We ended up with a little rain and now high winds - 40 - 50 mph gusts. But better that than 6" of that white stuff.

Alcan · 17 December 2007, 02:03 PM

I spent 4 hours with the snow blower and shovel today. then the *&^#@!! snow plow went by. Pretty much worn out now, but I guess that's the price you pay for a corner lot with 2 driveways.

On the other hand, it could have been worse. Check out these pix posted by an eastern Canadian member of another website a few years ago. Now that's a lot of snow!

Texsubmariner · 17 December 2007, 02:04 PM

That is amazing weather and snow. Makes me glad to be in Texas. Keep safe.

SPACE-DWELLER · 17 December 2007, 07:56 PM

COOL pics!

I like the way you wear your "Snow-Dweller". Reminds me of this:

vukotab · 17 December 2007, 08:51 PM

I hate snow.But I surely like SD.Even on snow!

BlackpoolRolexCoaste · 17 December 2007, 09:02 PM

Snow time like the now.............

Operator · 17 December 2007, 10:11 PM

Nice I love the Snow in Canada, it is the best in the world, I feel in the States Utah and Colorado have the best powder.

jersey · 18 December 2007, 04:05 AM

my GMT IIc made it through the storm yesterday no problem...
got about 13" of snow here in Oakville, Ontario yesterday and 2 hours of moving snow later the GMT is still ticking! lol

where are the rest of you canucks from?

GerardoG · 18 December 2007, 04:18 AM

Snow? What's that? Is it something like what we have on frozen Margaritas?

Saludos from SUNNY Cancun!

You can have the next storm no problem!! Already 20" here in beantown, more than we had all last winter. Actually the last two or three have been mild, we were due for a bad one and if this keeps up it's going to be bad. We don't usually get snow burnout until mid January or February, It's not even Christmas yet and people have had it!

wantonebad · 18 December 2007, 04:25 AM

You are mean, just plan old mean!! I hope you get a rash where the sun doesn't shine!!

Nice shots Al. Yep, the Maritimes (Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and New Brunswick) get the heaviest snowfalls in Canada, but especially Newfoundland, owing to the North Atlantic ocean effect. Massive loads of snow, as evidenced by the pix of people up to their roofs in snow.

Our big blow is over now, and the temps are cold enough (-26 degrees celcius with windchill last night....plugged the cars in!)

I'm finding that I wear the SD over my winter wear using the diver's extention now, its a great adaptation to the situation.

Best,

C

I cannot imagine such WX and temperatures!

So where is the global warming part?
