Sliding into Another Year

We got snow as predicted on New Years Day. I don't think it was as much as the prognosticators predicted, but it was enough for kids (and their dads) to drag out the sleds and hit the slopes all over Toronto.

Mildish temps (around the freezing point) made for comfortable (if a bit damp) sliding.

Things took a rather nasty turn overnight, as we awoke to a brutishly cold morning of around -13C. Not that cold really, for this time of year, but it's been so mild of late that it came as a bit of a shock. By the weekend the temps should be back above freezing, and they're calling for a high of +13 (no, that's not a typo or a misprint: Plus Thirteen Degrees Celsius!) by next midweek. In January! In Canada!

Welcome to Toronto winter. ;-)

Anyway, hope you all had a relaxing and Happy New Year as I did.
