Warm and sunny, 90F/32C.
Ko Phi Phi traffic jam. (Thailand)
Krabi Klong Moung traffic jams were a bit different. My Grab driver had me come down to the road because he did not want to scare the cattle.

Early morning coffee run after the storm, not my car thankfully.
Sidewalks and main roads are pretty clear, but still bitter cold.

Where’s that?
Toronto’s biggest snowfall ever or biggest snowfall since the 1920s, depending on who you believe.

Ah! Does Toronto get more than it’s Canadian share of snow?

Other parts of Canada get more snow than Toronto, typically.
This was unusual.
Toronto has some of what is called the Lake Effect.
Southwestern Ontario, between Detroit and Kitchener Waterloo is considered the Snow Belt. The region gets more snow than than the Greater Toronto Area, also as a result of the Lake Effect. There’s a small city called Woodstock, 80 miles west of Toronto, which always seems to have worse weather, worse visibility, and more snow than Toronto or London during the winter.
There are also other regions in Ontario and in other provinces that get more snow than the Greater Toronto Area.
One main difference between Toronto during a heavy snowfall and other regions during a heavy snowfall, is that most of the other snowy regions are less populated, and rural, so they aren’t immobilized by snow in the same way as Toronto and its burbs. Subways, streetcars and buses run into a lot of issues when there is a big snowstorm in the Greater Toronto Area or in the Greater Montreal Area.

I just blow-dried my head to try to warm up.
That’s what I was thinking!
The Woodstock? 
Looks like a different Woodstock.
It’s our Woodstock.
Your Woodstock in Ulster County,NY, isn’t too far away! 
The Woodstock Festival was in your Woodstock.
Some of the members of The Band that played your Woodstock, were from the Snow Belt.
I thought one was from Woodstock, Ontario, but I was mistaken.
The various Cdn members came from nearby Norfolk County ( Rick Danko from Blayney, ON), Stratford ON (Richard Manuel), Windsor (Garth Hudson) , and Toronto (Robbie Robertson)
Today I had the first-time-ever pleasure of having to break up iced-over snowpack with a metal tool before shoveling it. It was deeply unfun.

The parking lot at the grocery store was nice and empty this evening. -11 ⁰C / 12 ⁰F at 5 pm today, in southwestern Ontario.
Too true. Over the years the weather predictions have gone from “heavy winter storm” to the new nomenclature, “bomb cyclone storm”.
I think the old verbiage was a little less flashy and more accurate.
But whatever gets more clicks tends to lead in news reports of late.
Sixteen degrees here, “feels like” temp of 7.
I’m so sick I can barely be upright, so I won’t be going out in this kind of cold regardless.

14 degrees and the boiler’s off in my building (it’s been “under repair” off and on for the past two days). I’ve got a lot of layers on and a space heater by my feet.

It was 3 degrees this morning, and has been in single digits the last few mornings. The temperature hasn’t been over freezing (32 degrees) since last Thursday (the 22nd). The next time we are scheduled to be above freezing is Monday. It is brutal out there.
