Day 57: Whiteout

And the snow just continues to keep coming down here in the Greater Toronto Area as we continue to get blanketed by the something we haven't seen much all winter.  You'd think that as Canadians we'd all be used to this sort of stuff by now, but it always seems to take us by surprise.  Morning commute today was dreadful since the plows didn't have much time to get out beforehand.  In fact, much of the bus ride was gridlocked or moving at a bit of a snail's pace.  Thankfully the subway ride was largely uneventful.

It wasn't much of a surprise that when I emerged from the subway later that afternoon that it was of course, snowing.  It had been raining a bit downtown when I left.  About the only difference with this morning is that it was now a little warmer, meaning there was a ton of slush everywhere.  On top of that it was starting to get camoflauged by fresh snow, leaving for a few slick and nasty surprises.  It tapered off as I came back east.  Below if a photo of a sidestreet that I take on my way home, above is the park I cross.  It's just a sea of white out there.

Tomorrow promises to be busy.  It's my last day of work, and as mentioned in yesterday's post - the RUTV Masquerade.  More to come.
