Merry Christmas Everyone! Wait....this is APRIL isn't it? Yes....yes it is. Somebody should inform the weather that it is now spring. And this was only the start. About a half hour after this was taken, it was full white out conditions, and we couldn't see the houses across the street. The wind was blowing it completely sideways and the cold weather made the roads pretty dangerous.

I was just about to head out to a hockey game when it got really nasty, and decided to wait it out. It only lasted about 10 minutes then went back to what you see above. Everything was covered in ice when I got out to my car, and parts of the city lost power. Our lights flickered for hours, but never went out. We weren't sure how well the trains would be running in this, but mine was fine. However, the guy I was going to the game with wasn't so fortunate. His train stopped, and didn't get going again for almost 20 minutes. We missed the opening puck drop.
