[PHOTO] Three photos from #SnowMageddon2019 in Toronto

I had yesterday off, and slept in late, so I only ended up getting out of my apartment and onto my street by 3 o’clock in the afternoon. The white-out conditions surprised me: I could barely see to the end of the block.

Still, I was up, I was dressed, and I was already out. I took first the 29 Dufferin bus south and then the subway east over to Bathurst and Bloor to do some errands.

(The site of the old Honest Ed’s, currently a construction site, struck me as very photo-worthy with its warm bright colours.)

I ended up afterwards taking a little trip and headed west to Jane station, there to board the 26 Dupont bus and be dropped off practically at my warm home at 5 o’clock, with my cats and with my storm chips.

I just hope I will not have to dig out too much snow tomorrow morning.

London's been told to expect Snowmageddon too - predicted 1-3cm (yes, centimeters, not feet) of snow overnight, so lots of disruption to travel. I really wonder how Britain would cope with weather like yours...
