And Keswick is a very nice town that unfortunately has a few bad eggs that give the whole town a bad name, much like Oshawa.

I read that as "metalerologists", heh.
I have a corner bedroom, two outside walls, so my room is pretty susceptible to cold. I'm into the snow, though.
Just today my copy of the Ceremonial Oath - Book of Truth reissue landed in my mailbox right before conditions tanked, so I'll cozy up with that in my playlist later on.

Tomorrow, snow blower shopping!

Yeah, I had no help today as my wife had to stay inside with the 4-month-old... It's still not really done, but I am! lol

Yeah, I grew up in Aurora, so naturally I grew up making fun of Keswick. I really like living here though, even though sometimes you come across those bad eggs you're talking about.

Makes me bummed I don't live in Brooklyn anymore, preparing for and waiting out mega-storms was always a blast. Endless beers and Indiana Jones.

I grew up in Whitby/Brooklin (Ontario). It came time to buy a new house when we were expecting child number two and I got thirty percent more house for almost the same cost in mortgage and taxes in Keswick than Durham region. It made sense to me.

People always make fun of me anyways, so if it wasn't for living in Keswick it would be something else.

Yeah they are not fucking around with this storm. I got home about 3:30, and plenty of people were still out . I like going out driving in the snow, but I am not risking jail time/possible accident with this one.

I love that feeling of victory after cleaning my driveway of a foot of snow...before the road plow comes by and dumps a three foot mountain of heavy snow at the foot of my driveway.

But for that ten minutes I was king.

I guess I shouldn't complain from what I've heard the NE States got.

Vantage point from my the front of my apartment. Picture doesn't do it justice of how fucking fast the snow is flying out there right now.

Oh that looks beautiful.
