First Snowfall Toronto Dec 11 2014

Posted on December 12, 2014October 16, 2022 by David Barker

Toronto had its first decent snowfall of the 14/15 winter season. Although not the first snowfall, it was the first to screw up traffic and require snow removal equipment. The official weather people issued a storm warning. They are a bunch of wusses. It was a minor inconvenience … and a photographic opportunity. View a selection of images from my wanderings:

I guess there are worse things than running out of gas in a snowstorm.

This student told me he didn’t think it was very cold out. Then again, he has a full head of hair – unlike me.
