Mar. 12th, 2008 09:52 amToronto is sitting just shy of a record amount of snow this year, and it feels like most of it landed on my neighbourhood. In some areas, including our backyard, the banks are taller than me. (Okay, I'm short, but that's still impressive.) Still, annoying, frustrating and frankly dangerous as it can be, the snow can still be awesomely beautiful. So here's a few pics...
This one was taken during a storm in February. It made the ravine out back of our house look like a fairyland.

Here's another one of the ravine.

Even given that we have the typical postage stamp-sized Toronto backyard and that it's the only place we can shovel out our laneway to, we have a crazy amount of snow in ours. The bank here is well over six feet, even taller than the Sweetie. (And he's 6'6", so that's pretty tall.)

Last night the Sweetie comes barreling downstairs saying "You've got to look out the third floor window. It's wild." I found this waiting for me

It looks like alien icicles are trying to eat our house.

In this one, the icicles look almost delicate.

And here you can really see the crazy angle of the icicles. I have no idea how they even managed to form like this.
