[Hartley]

We had 1/2 foot of snow followed by freezing rain and then some more snow and a bit more freezing rain. I almost had a heart attack shoveling our driveway (I think I need to invest in a snow blower). In fact snow was so heavy I moved most of it by picking up big chunks of ice with my hands. Strangely enough just to the east of us in Bowmanville (about 40 minutes east) was pure rain - not a flake. Same thing to the south - Buffalo and Rochester got just rain.
