Typically, this part of the planet gets about .5 cm of snow in October. That's half a centimetre. That's like nothing, squared.
Forecast for the next two days, from Newmarket (just north of here) through to Barrie: ten centimetres. That's like great news for Canadian Tire stock, as everyone immediately goes out to refill their windshield-washer fluid, get the snows on the car, replace the ice scraper (WTF happens to that piece of lumber, anyway?), get a new snow shovel to replace the one you broke the blade on last year and haul home a new snowblower to replace the teenager who is in his first year ofdrinking himself insensible studying at university at some sunny clime.
Coming on top of last winter's colder-than-usual weather and this summer's colder-and-wetter-than-forecast weather, this is getting a little much.
Dear Global Warming: Please come back. All is forgiven.
