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.

Our new Mayor, Drew Dilkins, claiming on the news last night that every major road has been cleared! This morning I have spotted seven vehicles on University Ave within two blocks of my house all stuck in the snow because the plows haven't even bothered to come down our street yet! Is University Avenue not considered a major street unless it is within a couple of blocks of the casino? Shame on the City for neglecting University avenue time and time again!

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.

As a mother whom was out waiting for my child to get on his bus this morning, i have to say so many automobiles getting suck in our streets from the lack of snow removal, A kind Veteran Cab driver kindly helped a man who was stuck in the intersection blocking traffic, Once getting the man out of the way, he kindly got back into his cab and got stuck himself, Not one person choose to get out and help you!. You sir have been spotted i wish there were more people out there who were like you.

To the young lady who's car I drove out of the snow on Terminal on Monday afternoon... I left my sunglasses in your car! We live in the same neighbourhood! Would be glad to pick them up from you if you have them!
Sincerely, the woman in the maroon van! :)

Dr. Rajkumar of Windsor could not even get his car down his street in Windsor the day after 27 cm of snow fell. He found a friend who could give him a ride all the way out to Harrow to do X-rays and care for my dog who had a death threatening bowel obstruction. He came out in
Terrible weather risking his life to take care of my dog. Only later that night to do life saving surgery on my dog. He is
A kind , caring , intelligent and gentle man and an excellent Dr./ Vet. I would reccomended the Harrow Animal Hospital and also the Central Animal Hospital to everyone. He went out of his way in more then one way to save my dogs life. And for that I am spotting him!!! Thanks to All the staff at Harrow Animal Hospital. Everyone has been so great!!!!!

To the snow plow Gentleman who was cleaning my street late this evening. THANK YOU very much for helping me with my driveway. I offered you money to take the snow from the end of my driveway. You cleared the snow but you wouldn't accept the money. I can't thank you enough for that help. It may not seem like much to you in that giant truck, but to me it was a "back" saver and it would have taken me forever to clear. I'm glad the neighbor was at least able to give you a Timmie's card. Thanks for all your hard work and long hours.
