The First Snow

Living in Toronto means a few things. First, traffic will be bad during the day. Second, the Maple Leafs will break your heart (thankfully, I am a Canucks fan) . Finally, snow will fall in November. Today, I saw snow (flurries mind you) for the first time this winter. This is by far the earliest I have witnessed snow. Today's flurries were the result of lake effect weather. When the wind blows off the Great Lakes, it carries moisture inland and deposits it in the form of rain or snow. I like snow, so it was excited to watch what little precipitation there was.
