Let it snow or make it stop!
Many of us are of two minds when it comes to the snowstorm we’re expecting this weekend.
Snow, in virtually any amount, slows the highways and streets to a crawl. It’s the second-last weekend before Christmas and if you celebrate that holiday you’ve no doubt got a lot to do.
On the other glove, the 20-25 centimetres forecast will make it more likely that there will be a white Christmas. I wouldn’t have thought a white Christmas would make a lot of difference but I do remember looking out the window last December 25th and feeling a definite lunchbag letdown that it was green and rather mild. We’re Canadian, it’s the holidays, we need snow. Not a lot, just a thin covering, thank you.
With traffic and weather together every 10 minutes on the 1’s we will have you covered as the storm moves in - as of this writing, Brian Hill is forecasting its arrival for about 5 p.m. Saturday. If necessary, we will open the 680 Storm Centre and provide you with comprehensive coverage of delays, cancellations and anything else you need to know to get you where you need to go.
And if you can huddle under a comforter with a good book, sipping hot chocolate and staying clear of the craziness, all the better for you!

Pleeeeze … enough with the “top story” weather reports! Isn’t there anything else at all going on in this city of more than a million people? Ever since Friday, this snow storm has dominated all news. If we were in California, it would be an event. And now this morning, it’s all about whether it’s going to melt or not. Is everybody on holiday who usually gathers the news? Let it snow…stop the reporting!
I will compliment Irene who was reporting on Sunday morning from the storm centre for actually pronouncing “our” as “our” and not “ARE” when she advised listeners to “check OUR web site.” She said it three times - yay!
