Danger: Thin Ice

We had our week of winter this past week and we got it all: polar vortex, Arctic outflow, and 28 centimetres of snow.

That’s the most snow we’ve had in one go since 1996, but the sad reality is any amount of snow pretty much shuts down the city and makes the national news.

And the rest of Canada laughs.

The sustained colder temperatures made for some thin ice conditions. This is Lost Lagoon. And yes, the kids were playing pond hockey at the other end of the lagoon the day before the snow fell. I like my ice a little thicker, but I’m sure it made for some lasting memories for those kids who did get out on the ice.
