So, Toronto is on track to have the greatest amount of snowfall in a single winter since 1938. They’ve had about 7 feet of snow this winter, with very little of it melting off.
That’s just great.
As most of you know, my universe is governed by irony.
So it’s par for the course that when I come to stay at Toronto for awhile – the Artic winds blow and dump all the snow this town can handle on me. Everyone – everyone – tells me how this is the worst winter they’ve ever experienced. Local governments complain about rapidly dwindling supplies of salt, sand, and money for road cleaning. Mounds of snow tower over the sidewalks and spill into the streets. Parking is impossible. Biting winds blow ice bullets between the builidings. Everywhere you look, people are mummified in their own winter garb.
I’m done with winter.
