No, I get paid either way. I'm heading to Detroit Thursday. Actually, my wife needed to work tomorrow, she's off too. So now our travel plans get fucked up. Gotta see what happens Thursday now.

Horrible morning commute. We got about 2cm of snow overnight. We're looking at perhaps 2 more before it stops this afternoon.

WILL NO ONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!

The wind has just now started. It's a total whiteout now.

We haven't had a winter in Toronto worth the name, since '98/'99. Even then we only got heavy snow for a few weeks. If we had a winter here like the ones we had when I was a kid, people here would think that the world was coming to an end.

The last two years here beat previous records for snowfall for 130 years. This year, not even close.

But to get to the point, my family argued last year that 'we got twice this much snow when we were kids'

but, the facts say they didnt. But as a little kid, everything seems like more. I remember Karl saying you guys had record snowfall there either last winter, or the one before too. (not sure which it was)

Toronto doesn't get nearly as much as Ottawa or Montreal do. Even Hamilton gets a tonne more; mostly lake effect. We've gotten piss-all snow since the big one in '98/'99.

For the record when I was a kid, I can remember having to climb out a second story window of our house on PEI, because the front door was blocked.
