Now looking South.
They're saying the snow-fall has been "slightly less" than expected, so I imagine I will spend the morning hauling the wife back and forth from her skating class. As an old West-Coaster, it boggles my mind when people say "Oh! Only a foot of snow? Of course we'll drive 30 miles to the rink."
Update: Its a bit after noon and I just drove from Yorkdale mall to Victoria park through my first white-out. Nasty stuff. They outta give me some kind of award.

Can't be Turannah . . there's no soldiers shoveling snow.
Why hasn't Dulton pressed the panic button yet?
What is he hiding ?
Could you trolls stop trying to be witty? What you're producing is anti-wit and when it encounters actual wit, the mutul-annihilation is...well, disturbing.
On-topic (but not witty): The storm's pretty bad. A hawk has taken refuge on my deck and looks rather distressed.
gawd how I love global warming.
Especially in the Land Common Sense Forgot.
"Let it snow,"
"Let it snow,"
"Let it snow."
Merry Christmas to all you WARMonger wonders.
And a Happy Global Warming 2008 to you all.
Toooooooooooooooo easy.

Word is, the storm has slowed and is about 6 hours behind schedule. Meaning we ain't seen NOTHIN' yet!
And my son went out this morning... in his shoes. Sigh. Teenagers.
Merry Christmas to all you WARMonger wonders.
I hope your family doesn't die in an horrific Christmas tragedy, Biff. You're inviting some serious karmic retribution.
Oh no, not a snow storm - in Toronto! And with the army tied down in Afghanistan!
Yorkdale will likely be crawling with SUV's and Christmas shoppers, no?
Yorkdale was as empty as I've ever seen it. I took the back road behind the mall off Dufferin so I could stop and re-brush the windows. I literally couldn't see where the road ended and the curb began.
While Canada is encased in a massive deep freeze, with her citizens struggling to stave off the harsh winter conditions,
Dion basks in the warm Bali tropical breeze, wagging his finger at us, admonishing us to sacrifice, to turn our thermostats down, to refrain from taking that drive into town to get the baby's cold medicine, to use that tin shovel instead of the powered snow blower ect.,
while he cowtows to China, who's few days of emissions are equal to Canada's "carbon" output for an entire year.
Don't get lyrical, Biff. Not everyone has pain medication to recreate on to appreciate your florid prose.

Well in Toronto anyway
This in from Bali:
Hillman, senior fellow emeritus at the Policy Studies Institute, says carbon rationing is the only way to ensure that the world avoids the worst effects of climate change. And he says that the problems caused by burning fossil fuels are so serious that governments might have to implement rationing against the will of the people.
"When the chips are down I think democracy is a less important goal than is the protection of the planet from the death of life, the end of life on it," he says. "This has got to be imposed on people whether they like it or not."
(BTW this is not a joke, this is an official policy document by a major thinktank at Bali)
Step 1: proclaim earth will end
Step 2: declare the science behind declaration in step 1 is "settled" denying any real debate and shutting down scientific peer review process (ie the scientific method)
Step 3: Create massive world beaurocracy to attempt to limit/control our freedoms (or at the very least tax the hell out of us).
A leftist's dreamworld. Too bad guys like the above are being a little too obvious about it.
Nice cut 'n pasties there, anony. Really sexxxxy the way they twirl at the end of your ponderous man-boobs.
Dan,
true or false,
the average world temperature has actually been falling since 1998?
And what of the 100 scientists, many of them the greatist scientific minds of our time, and their open letter to the Post?
Are they stupid too?
Tell us Dan, tell us how much more you know than those hundred sceintists.
Also, tell us that your willing to go along with a drastic world wide redistribution of funds in the face of such a legitimate questioning of the "science" behind the global warming hysteria.
Don't worry Dan, I assume you just like to feel superior, and find it easy to talk about taking food out of my family's mouths, but when push comes to shove, and YOU'RE asked to take food out of your family's mouths, you'll be just like all the other "reductions for thee but not for me" crowd.
In the meantime, keep getting that "I'm saving the world" feeling, buying that super long lasting bulb for an extra six cents.
Mr Gore, candidate for the first President of the World has some Inconvenient Truths to be explained

I didn't know you considered your mother and your latest "uncle" upstairs, as well the knuckle babies sleeping soundly in that tube sock beside you a "family," Biff.
Phantom?
David Warren today citing Votaire regarding the attack on Stein's opinions:
'The remark attributed to Voltaire, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it," perfectly expresses the finest, traditional liberal principle, upon which, ultimately, civil society relies.'
Or to BCL and others in today's new "progressive" liberalism means:
"I disagree with what you say so........'go Canadian Muslim Congress go!!!'"
I think you mean the "Canadian Islamic Congress." The Muslim Canadian Congress is a progressive muslim organisation, which supports freedom of expression more than it condemns anti-muslim paranoia (although it condemns that too).
Anyway, we just do it to taunt the ignorant bigots and xenophobes. The madder and more paranoid you get, the more outrageous you become. When you all start advocating Endlösungen (as some of you already have), we're hoping true conservatives will distance themselves even more from you types and political discourse will return to something more sensible.
Now please express your gratitude towards me for having provided you with the opportunity to nobly express your defense of my right to say something you disagree with.
...I'm waiting.
You want an award for DRIVING to the mall?! What was do important at Wal-Mart that you couldn't walk or ski there? Run out of beer and Cheetohs?
Biff, That was 20 miles through white out conditions! Toronto's a big town. I'm not sure how to explain it so you'd understand, but its as least as far as you could walk your goat in a day.
"the average world temperature has actually been falling since 1998?"
Here you go, Stupie:

Does the number of signatories keep growing with every retelling, Anonyliar? While some of 59 scientists may very well be stupid, others were decieved into signing it, while others are just paying their bills.

. . . and the ROC couldn't be happier!
Happier about what, Biff?
Jeeze, he's not even trying to be irritating anymore, which he normally does so effortlessly.
...I'm concerned. If Biff becomes despondent, he may start having sex with the goat again. And the goat really does deserve a more competent lover.
This EXTREME weather event was brought to you by George W. Bush himself. Toronto has NEVER had white-outs until GWB stole the election. It's true.
And who said Kyoto was a socialist money-sucking scheme?
Well, at least Biff's giving the goat access to the computer...
Only the army and police should have guns - to help people in Toronto shovel snow. That's exactly what the military train for, shovelling out lazy whining eastern bastards.
I don't need religion in my life for greater meaning.
I can save the world (or at least really really feel like I'm saving the world) buy paying fifty cents more for the long lasting lightbulb.
Talk about a great return!!!
