Marching in Like a Lion

Coming soon, to your neck of the woods...

See that pink area? That means LOTS of snowy icy stuff is out there, and it's coming right for us. This unusually warm and dry winter has so far spared us of this kind of storm.

Be careful on the streets, folks. Reports coming out of west of Toronto are saying that major whiteouts are happening and that people can't see 3ft in front of them.

5:42pm UPDATE: photos from blogTO readers after the jump...

I love it... since I am watching it from my couch with hot chocolate in one hand and a book in the other! Thunder was pretty cool - a special effect to all the snow falling (or should I say blowing around)

The Good News: It's not actually all that cold out there.

The Bad News: You will be almost immediately ensconsed in a 1ft wrapping of snow, and will die of hypothermia slowly.

Can't wait to see the Photojunkie pics of a barren Yonge street, littered with sad Snowmen (people?).

Ha! I just walked home from Victoria Park subway - about 15 minutes usually. Took me double that today - battling through knee deep snowdrifts, and being slowly encased in ice from the tearing wind -
and still drivers in cars try to go at 50 kph!

Biked?! Did you not know the storm was coming?

A friend of mine in Boston fell from his bike in icy conditions recently. He's had three surgeries this month and is still in a sling and on painkillers.

we had one day of snow in the south of england for two seperate days (each time it snowed, it lasted for one day)
