Yesterday the Toronto District School Board declared a school closure day, the first in a dozen years, on account of the big snowstorm forecast. Joy was unconfined! The kids had a veritable blast; our day included visiting friends, hot chocolate, sledding, ice skating at a nearby park, sitting by our friends' fireplace, a snowball fight, and more hot chocolate. Unfortunately for the poor official who made the call, the snow lacked storm. We got a lovely fresh layer of white but nothing to write home about. Toronto is now the laughing stock of Canada.
I joined the laughter. Pah, I said, it's just a few centimeters of snow. What's the big deal? Off I trooped with the children, skates on our backs, up the road.
Scary. I'm acculturating.
