Winterland

When we arrived in Toronto, it was hot. People were telling us that last year it didn't snow until January.

Well nuts to them! In the last 24 hours Toronto's weather went from Wellington on a rainy day to Mt Ruapehu in October!
We woke up to a transformed surroundings, everything had a dusting of white, and it wasn't stopping.
We had about 5cm of snow in the city, my balcony has a pile of snow on it and it kept growing all day.

Drivers weren't ready either, in all there were delays of two hours more than usual, and 300 reported traffic crashes including one man who died when his truck hit a car and rolled.

So winter is here, temperature right now is -8 degrees Celsius and on saturday the city is planning to open the outdoor ice skating rink in Nathan Phillips Square by the town hall.
