Good morning to March 2, 2016 and the beauty of snow

Wednesday

Good morning. Sorry about the mess but as this photo taken in Moore Park reveals it has a beauty to it. We can only imagine how fine it would be to slide down the hills at Talbot Park this morning. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

9.4 OFFICIAL

By 1 a.m. Wednesday, 9.4 cm of snow had fallen but it seems like less in many places. Records say that’s the most snow a day this winter. Tuesday’s storm is said to have broken a 61-year-old record for the biggest snowfall on March 1, set back in 1947 when Toronto got 9.1 cm of snow.

SCHOOLS TALK BACK TO COMPLAINERS

The poor conditions on the roads prompted school bus cancellations across the GTA, including Toronto, Peel and York regions. The CBC is carrying an amusing story about how some school boards are using Twitter to talk back to grumbling kids who want the day off. In some areas, classes are being held, as they are here, but buses are cancelled. It is a cold cleanup and it will be colder as temperatures drop to as low as minus 14 or lower tonight. But next week,beginning Saturday, will be much warmer. Weather Network
