It may have been bad in the Greater Toronto Area, but it was colder in Winnipeg (coldest in 35 years) and snowier in Newfoundland (try to locate the house in the snowdrifts).
Toronto did have "36 extreme cold day alerts"(a record) and an ice storm at the end of December.(Check out the slideshow from Brampton and other cities)
When I lived in Barrie, as a young lad, there were snowdrifts that almost reached the tops of telephone poles. This is Canada, eh! Sometimes you have to travel with snowshoes or dogsleds. Why get miserable about the weather? It doesn't do any good.
The couple above are enjoying a Canadian spring day with some steak and wine. Wimps ask "Why"? True Canucks say "Why not"?
