Pamparo in Toronto

First day of snow fall in Toronto!

I don’t know why I am excited about snow. Maybe because my son is influencing me with his enthusiasm. Or maybe because I am ready for winter driving. Or maybe because it signals that it is really the Christmas holidays. No matter what the reason is, winter is here for the next 3 months or so!

Barely one month into the Fall season of 2008, there is something else coming down beside the leaves of the trees. I refuse to call it snow, so I will refer to it as “snow-like substance”. Look at this weather conditions right now.

It’s inevitable, I supposed. I am still thankful that we had Thanksgiving with a temperature in the mid-20′s Celsius (68 Fahrenheit for our American friends). However, we have been breaking records season after season — total amount of snow on winter & total amount of precipitation/rain on summer. I think this fall, we are about to break 2 other records — the least amount of rain and the most amount of snow!

Oh well, what else can we do but just try to find something else to enjoy! Think, think, think …
