"Major snowstorm"... you keep using that term. I do not think it means what you think it means. London missed the worst of it, apparently, but the worst of it "dumped 20-30 cm of snow".

Once again, I do not think it means what you think it means. That is NOT a major snowstorm. That is borderline between a heavy flurry and a minor snowstorm. Probably a snowday for schoolkids, but not a major storm. :p

We were supposed to go to a marriage prep course, so I left work early. I got home and was informed that tonight's session had been cancelled on account of weather. To which I say... umm, what weather? :p

Your first two sentences made me happy. ^_^ Darling, you're from the Maritimes. You know what real snow is like. These people have no idea. :P

Princess Bride references are always appropriate. :p

They clearly don't. This is joke snow. I laugh at it. :p

YESSSS. :D

I was born in Newfoundland. Even if we moved when I was a baby, we have pictures. I have seen what Real Snow looks like. And at least, where I grew up, it took a couple of feet for it to be considered a snow day. Not all that shabby. But Southern Ontario, in an urban area? NO. XD

A woman on the news (we are watching EST programing on time-shift) was interviewing children who had built a snow fort and commented rather drolly that at least if we had to have the army come back it, at least they'd have somewhere to stay.

I feel the same way when it snows in Victoria. It's really quite pathetic and rarely stays at all, but boy does it sure affect driving :P

Oh man, snow in BC must be HILARIOUS. :p

Actually, even you Maritimers would probably respect the snowfall the northern part of the province gets - it's been a really bad year for avalanches :/ Vancouver actually gets snow that sticks, but it's also a lot less compared to other parts of the country!

We've been getting forecasts of a 'big winter storm'.

I've learnt that means "sub-freeze temperatures, some form of light precipitation, and a complete lack of milk, eggs, bread and cheese in the groceries".

Plz continue to LAAAAAAUGH :P

[yubsie]

I think I HAVE to. :p

It's less the snow that's an issue as it is the wind, at least here in TO.

Plus the fact that for this part of Ontario, that is significant snow and so people aren't as used to dealing with it.

[yubsie]

It's funny though :p

Oh please. That isn't snow. That's barely enough to be worth clearing the driveway for. Tch.

[yubsie]

It's really, REALLY not. :p
