Timmins shovels away amid expected 50 cm snowfall

Not exactly an unexpected sight, but certainly more snow than people in Timmins wanted to see Friday morning.

Not exactly an unexpected sight, but certainly more snow than people in Timmins wanted to see Friday morning.

That was the case for 91-year-ol Carlo Didone, who reluctantly battled the fresh snow on his driveway.

“I feel like stay in bed,” said Didonte, taking a break from shovelling.

“I take a look outside, 'holy moly' I say."

Across the street, neighbour Shane Boehk shuttles snow out of his snow machine, also displeased with the heavy snowstorm.

"Oh, I didn't like it,” he said.

“We're used to it though, we live up north."
