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!

Thank you to the person that found our license plate and posted it on Kijiji. So smart of you. You saved us so much time...and probably money

To the young lady in The Sand Bar Restaurant on Saturday night,
It was clear that you were upset and felt the need to voice your opinion. But the way you did it and portrayed yourself was awful. You tore into another young lady, who I might add, handled the situation with grace and dignity. You were relentless, rude and flat out a bully. As my husband and I sat, trying to enjoy our meal, we couldn't help but feel sorry for you. You clearly lack the self esteem to handle an adult situation and feel the need to act like a child. We also feel sorry for your parents (as we are parents ourselves), I am sure they would have been ashamed of your behaviour, as you should be too.
To the young lady on the other end of the situation,
Good on you for holding your head high, not reacting to the verbal abuse or lowering your standards and acting like her. Your parents should be proud of the strong young woman they have raised.
Sincerely,
The older couple a few tables over

I've lived down my street for 3years and never once seen a city snow plow come down my street. Yesterday my street still hadn't been plowed so I called 311* and politely put in a request. I had to get mine and my sisters car out so I ended up plowing snow for 3hrs last night just to be able to finally get out of our street. Today I wake up to the whole street being cleared and all of the hardened snow had been dumped all in front of my house/ driveway and exactly where I had already shovelled. The rest of my street has no sign of snow because all of it has been piled up in front of my driveway. My sister was running late for work because she hit her car and damaged it and it took me and her 2hrs to get all the heavy hardened snow out of our driveway and out from in front of our house!!! What do I even pay taxes for??? So a$$hole, spiteful snow plow drivers and come and dump all the snow from my street in front of my house and damage our cars?!!!!

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!

During the winter months we like to build a huge ice rink, where we also have a weekend/ day of ice skating and bonfires etc. for family and friends and patrons of our marina. This is Private Property and the rink is situated at a dead end of the marina. So there is no reason for a sled to even go down that patch of snow.

Just on Saturday alone we spent 6 hours prepping the rink and flooded it. (We had already spent 10 hours on the rink before the additional 6 hours) Sunday came and so did the snow. On Monday we went to shovel it off but realized that the ice was slushy and we would have to wait a day or two before we could get back to work on it.

Not even a mere 30 seconds later two Ski-Doo's come flying into the rink RIGHT next to the nets. One guy got stuck, the other one took off and parked his sled on firmer snow. He walked over and helped his friend out but not before putting his leg through the auger hole for the water pump. Which was kind of Karma in my mind.

The point I'm making is the sledders have no respect for peoples ice rinks. We had THREE in the area and they were all destroyed by Ski-Doo's. It's time to take a step back and respect peoples hard work... Its easy to plow though on a sled and destroy someones rink. But why when you have the whole lake at your disposal? Now the part that really pisses me off is that they see the damn nets and the outline of an ice rink, but don't bother stopping BEFORE the net, and continue on over the rink...

Thanks to the two guys on Monday at Pike Creek. You know who you are. Apologizing is one thing... Coming back to help fix it is another.
