"When shovelling snow, choice of footwear is most important. Look for that combination of warmth, water resistance and traction."Apparently this young lady didn't read the manual.
;-)
So, for those of you in foreign lands who haven't heard, we got snow here in North America. Pretty much the whole northeastern portion of the continent got slammed. I don't know how many inches we got here in Toronto, but they say it's the worst storm since 1999 - the infamous "Mayor Mel Calls in the Army" storm (which we'll never live down).
That being said, it wasn't that bad here in town. What, maybe 6 to 10 inches? I mean, it was a storm, but I've seen worse. Last night, we walked through the University of Toronto, it's old Ivy League buildings looking snug and warm under a blanket of snow, behind huge evergreens, their boughs bent under the weight of the white stuff. The lack of traffic combined with the fresh snow made for an eerily quiet evening.
Too bad it won't last. Within a day or two the roads will be cleared, the snow will start to turn grey, and they're calling for rain by the end of the week. Then it will be Toronto the Grey again.

At least the young lady is shovelling. She can be wearing a cheerleader's outfit as long as she shovels her walkway.
In Toronto, a shovelled sidewalk is a rare thing. You're right, I shouldn't be sarcastic with the young lady, who is at least "doing the right thing".
And doing so in heels!
Nice shot Knarf - your sense of the moment is sharp these days. You should submit one (maybe this one) to NOW mag. If you like.
It's lovely coming over here when you have a new crop of photographs to wander through.
Love this ... (does that get trite or lose anything if I have to keep writing that? Hope not.)
