Imagine it was a sunny day yesterday and it was raining today and you hear a weather prediction that there would be snow tomorrow. Having experience only with the Indian weather forecast before, I was very sure that it would be a “Bright and Sunny Day”.
You go to bed at 3:30AM early morning. Things are fine and the streets look clean and tidy. Morning you wake up @ 8:30AM and the entire world looks white. Will not it be a shock for you? This was a double whammy for me for this was the first real experience with snow. Uffffff. I had a really tough time in commuting to college today. It was windy and it was snowing. You could feel the snow pricking your body.

Your winter jackets become wet, your hand gloves, your shoes are of no use, you shiver in your Jeans, ur bag become wet and you slip thru (not walk thru!!) the road. Welcome to the winter in Toronto. I am told that this is mild (@ minus 5 degC) and would go upto minus 30 degC. Compare this with the Chennai minimum climate of PLUS 20degC-my lowest temperature experience before coming here.
Two things have topped my agenda now after today’s experience:
1. To get a snow Jacket
2. To get a snow shoe
Looking forward to this Sunday for the completion of these purchases to get myself out of some big soups in future!!
