A Winter Blanket

On Friday we had the second major winter storm of the season come through Toronto (and most of Eastern Canada), which lasted almost 24 hours, but fortunately was much nicer and less messy than the first one.

That meant Amanda and I had the chance to go out and enjoy some of the wonderful wintery conditions and play in the snow after work on Friday evening. I think this one storm produced more snow than I can remember seeing in the last few winters combined back home, and so I'm making the most of savouring the sights, sounds & fun of the city covered in a blanket of white!

Here are some of the photos of our adventures:

The streets of Toronto look very fresh and enticing in this winter wonderland.



Amanda & I "made a new friend" who wanted to say hi to everyone.





Now here's a real snow angel!


And just before we headed home, the snow came back to wish us goodnight!

What a dashing moustache on such a handsome snowman! Who's that cute boy with him! Maybe you should grow a 'tache' Owain? (haha)

Hi Owain,
Lovely to have enough snow to build a proper snowman, not even one snowflake over here yet, but it is Shrove Tuesday Pancake Day! and I enjoyed real maple syrup from Ontario on mine - thank you Amanda and Kim for that trip to the shop amongst the Maple trees.
