Toronto Walloped By Heavy Snow, I’m Taking A Day!
December 17th, 2007 Categories: Slice of Toronto
It was just beautiful, one of the best Toronto snowfalls in a long time. Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, it barreled in.
Stayed indoors, but if I’d had my cross-country skis at the house instead of still in storage, I would have been last seen gliding through the streets of my Toronto neighbourhood. Seriously, if someone can snowmobile down the middle of a Toronto city street, it’s okay for all other Nordic sports.
Toronto, Just Outside the Door
Here are a couple of pictures: my real estate ride, still to be dug out, I may just wait for the January thaw.
I also wanted to share a timely news release that was just posted by Toronto Police Service on “Safety tips for winter driving, Traffic Services”. What I thought was a very interesting point was that the tires are the most important part of the car; they’re (obviously) the only part of the car that touches the ground. You don’t drive the car, you drive the tires. Be sure they’re properly inflated. A very Bedrock image comes to mind, no?
The other is on the patio. I often use the phrase “the sprinkles on my cupcake”, sometimes jokingly and sometimes very literally.
I just loved the look of this flower barrel on the patio. It wasn’t that long ago that it was filled with herbs and bunny tails.
This is my wintertime cupcake; perfect in its lopsidedness.
Happy shoveling and safe driving, Toronto!
