Snow Day!

Toronto got hit with a yucky, if not too horrible, snow storm today, and I got an actual snow day off work. (The organization I work for really walks the walk when it comes to considering employee's welfare, and this is just one of the bonuses.)

It never got crazy bad, but we've had constant, fine-grained blowing snow from very, very early in the morning until, well, now, really. Have a pic:

That's the main street we live near, and it's usually pretty solid traffic. People were wisely mostly staying off the roads. I was out and about a few times--taking Ros to school and running a few errands--and even on foot it was brutal getting around. It would barely look like it was snowing because the snow was so fine, but we were accumulating at least a few inches an hour. Which adds up.

And tonight, the Sweetie and I have tickets to see Point Break (as part of a Keanu Reeves retrospective at the Lightbox, no less) so we're going to have to brave the weather once more. At least I'll get surfing Keanu as a reward for my foolhardiness. Point Break is one of my very favourite films of all-time--yes, really; it's why I was so happy when Kathryn Bigelow got the Oscar for The Hurt Locker--and the Sweetie's never seen it, so we've been looking forward to this for months.
