Today’s late-winter storm has blown off to the east and left a load of wretched deep-drifting snow behind. The good news is that we are near the end and tomorrow (Thursday, March 13, 2014) will be bright and sunny. Even better, Friday will be sunny with a high of snow-bank melting 5 degrees Celsius. There were a million stories in the bundled up naked city and environs. CTV has tweeted pictures (right) of a Whitby bus and an overturned Ontario snowplow. Bottom we see Kim Cloutier and friend whose faces say it all. “What’s up with this storm,” they tweeted. Commuters will expect a slow commute Thursday morning. Tonight TTC surface vehicles were struggling with route diversions. The City of Toronto issued an extreme cold weather alert Wednesday morning to alert the homeless to the sharp temperature drop in the evening, to -17C by day’s end. As a result, the city automatically opened up 26 shelter spaces. Environment Canada issued a wind chill warning for the GTA. It will feel like -30C overnight with the wind. Kids are already out of school March break this week and some university and college classes were cancelled because of the snow. The University of Toronto’s Mississauga campus closed York University’s Keele and Glendon campuses closed at 2:30 p.m. Ryerson University remained open. Goodbye and get out you #x&3&! winter of 2014
