Snowmageddon

Well it’s finally here. After days of advanced warnings, a Toronto preview, and the Weather Channel’s red-screened alerts, snowmageddon has arrived.

It remains to be seen how much snow we get and whether the storm lives up to all the hype, but it’s starting off well. A blustery snow-swirly day – terrible for those on the roads or trying to fly anywhere, but perfect for snowshoeing in the woods followed by a hot drink and a good book in front of the fire.

And since I have nowhere to go for the next 48 hours, let it snow!

UPDATE: 4 hours later, the storm is past and the sun is shining in a clear, blue sky. There's a lousy 10 centimetres of snow on the ground. We've been cheated!
