Unfortunately there was no cocooning for me today. Had to walk to Queenston and Nash from Parkdale/Melvin because I had to cash a cheque at my bank to buy bus tickets. The walk was absolute hell. Did it around 1 or 2pm when the storm was basically at it's height. Couldn't look ahead of myself because the snow kept blowing into my eyes. Had to walk on the road because the sidewalks were roughly 4 foot drifts. Almost got nailed by an oncoming snow plow since I couldn't see ahead of myself as well. A bayfront bus was stuck across the intersection at Nash/Queenston. A snow plow also got stuck in the Sobey's parking lot as I was looking at the bus. Something about seeing a city bus and a snow plow stuck in the snow really makes you worried.
I don't know what was with this storm. I remember we had one that produced about the same accumulation last year, and I only remember seeing one or two stuck buses.
