Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
early Tuesday morning, about 4:30 am I had let the dogs out and while I waited for them, watched the tractor going up and down my street, being as careful as he could not to dump snow on already-shoveled sidewalks and driveways. Seeing other cans out, I remembered I also needed to bring out my bin so I grabbed the can, dragged it outside and to the curb. and stood there for a few minutes looking pretty stupid while I held the garbage, and froze, and attempted to find a place on the mountain where it wouldn't risk toppling over and into traffic. seeing my plight, the tractor backed up and cut me out a niche so I could place my bin :) I waved my thanks and went back inside. then I thought it would be nice if I were a coffee drinker, then I could have made him a coffee. so grabbing the next best thing I headed back outside and down the street and handed him a soda :) I came out this morning to find that the end of my driveway had also been flattened out.
so to the rockstar snow plow guy, thank u :) Ur consideration was very much appreciated and ur long hours worked at all hours of the night have not gone unnoticed.
sincerely,
the stupid girl with the garbage can, the sprite and the lack of sense that would have told her to put on a coat before she went outside :)
I thought I would do a good deed and buy my parents coffee, so I went to Tim Horton's on Ottawa and Kildare and went through the drive thru and when I got to the window they said I didn't have to pay that it was on Mark. I think Mark is the manager but I thought it was amazing that he paid for peoples orders today. It was a wonderful deed and I'm thankful.
I would like to say a Huge thank you to the gentleman who helped me at 8:15am get my Journey out of the snow in South Windsor today....My street was not plowed and i also have a median in front of my house...At the end of the median there is extra snow that no car touches and makes a v shape..I must drive over this huge lump of snow where i got stuck...I thought i would shovel out but this gentleman, was driving up behind me and felt bad that i blocked him..He got out and decided to push me ...Just then a small school bus also gets stuck right beside me coming into our street.. So the bus driver needed help too.. Both man got me on my way...I hoped they heard the thank you as i had to keep going...Reached the corner where I had another little obstacle ,but made it through ...I always driven a minivan and never seemed to get struck...First winter with my Journey, I think i just need better tires....Also a thank you to my neighboor Rick( who lives behind me) for letting me park my car in his driveway because i knew i would never make it down my street ....
To every individual that helped someone else yesterday, you have been spotted. I'm not referring to emergency & city personnel (although they did an incredible job in extraordinary circumstances), I mean the other Windsorites whom had snow days and could have stayed inside and watched a movie or read a book or had a nap. The soldiers with shovels patrolling the streets; the neighbours sharing the glory of a snowblower; the bystanders that pushed out the fools that believed they could defeat the powers of winter. Each of you make Windsor a better place.
Of course there were inconveniences but those were to be expected. Haters hate and they chose to focus on the negative but this does nothing to tarnish the halos on the good samaritans in this city. Kudos to all the magnificent people out there!
Today around 9am on Marentette I got my car stuck in the worste position possible. Feeling helpless as it was just me and my 3 year old I really had no idea what to do and was about to call a two truck. Thankfully a girl in a red car stopped to help me. A few minutes later a woman came out of her house, offered shovels, cardboard and her assistance as well. A few minutes later a man who just pulled into his driveway started helping us and then a young man came out of his house to join us. (Yes I managed to get my G6 stuck that bad) Eventually after about 15 minutes we got my car moving. Then as the first girl who helped was leaving the scene ended up getting her car stuck and we all helped her...
This seems so minuscule and maybe not a big deal to some, but to all of you that helped me this morning you have been spotted! I can't thank you enough for your kind selfless act. You have ultimately restored my faith in humanity.
Hugs from the girl and her G6.
We captured an aerial view after a Windsor winter storm pounded the area, dumping a whopping 37 centimetres of snow over two days. That was enough to set the record for single-day snowfall on Feb. 1 with 32.2 cm.

Wanted to say thank you to the man who helped my fiance and I out of the snowbank yesterday. We were stuck overnight and this was a last ditch attempt to avoid calling a tow truck. Thank you!
To the Windsor star carrier on St Annes in Tecumseh south of the expressway... you went over and above on Monday. When I saw the paper in the mailbox I was flabbergasted. Thank you .. your work ethic is very much appreciated.
