Saturday 8th March, 2008. The SNOW STORM!


La Tormenta de Nieve. Nunca vi tanta nieve junta. La gente se mira y se pregunta: Donde vamos a poner tanta nieve? Sinceramente, no hay mas lugar para ella. Hay montanias blancas en cada esquina y sobre los bordes de cada calle y avenidas. Veredas? Olvidalas. Es imposible ser peaton.

Llegue justo para el invierno que pretende marcar un record en la historia! Que privilegio, no?

Hoy veo la nieve y me pregunto: Que pasara cuando se derrita? Espero que despues del snow no nos tape el agua! :o) jajaja.

Por lo pronto, mis botas portenias ya se me mojaron y tuve que comprarme otras. WaterProof. Las pobrecitas estaban preparadas para un invierno bonaerense, no del tipo artico! Y bue.... I needed new ones!


Les copio la noticia del diario> The STAR.com:


The last great winter

Helen Wetherall's photo album has reminders of the snowy day in 1967 when a live wire came down outside her East York house.
'My dad never went to work and everything came to a standstill. It was a different world altogether'
Murray McCulloch was 6 when he suddenly found himself in what felt like another world.
"I remember all the schools being closed and there was absolutely nothing moving at all," said McCulloch, 75, while having lunch at a Mississauga Legion hall on Lakeshore Rd. E. "My dad never went to work and everything came to a standstill. It was like a different world altogether."
It was the winter of 1938 and '39 – the snowiest winter on record for Toronto – when 207.4 centimetres fell at the airport throughout the season.
Weather experts think that with 178.6 centimetres collected already,
this winter might be on its way to breaking that record.
"We have a lot of March left to go that is going to be a little chillier than normal, so even a few more lighter snowfalls could be enough to take us over the record,"
said Geoff Coulson, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment Canada
