Today we experienced the worst snow storm of our first winter in Canada. The snow started late Friday evening and the dumping continued for almost 24 hours. This after we had a snow day on the Wednesday of the week. Close to 30 cms of snow was recorded in Toronto and that brings us close to the record that was set almost 70 years ago.
The record is 208 cms and we are currently at 189 for the year. It has clearly beaten the average snowfall record and is almost twice the snow that has been recorded in the last two years. Before we came here, I had never seen any of the white stuff and now I will be very happy when it all ends.
It is great if you are at home or are a skier, however, when you have to shovel and clean your driveway, it is no fun. Apologies to those who do not share the same feelings about the snow, in my opinion most of the locals have had it with the snow for now.
