First snow of the year
Yesterday, the first real snowfall of the year left a pile of something white which remains unmoved on our driveway and stairs. It's not pure snow as the thick layer of ice produced by freezing rain tells the story of. Some of us are already asking "when will winter end already?" This isn't the kind of snow we had in mind. Snowballs are laced with ice spears, the road salt can't break through and now we leave the house through the garage, our front steps too dangerous still caked with five inches of ice.

So instead of attending the pizza and punch Golden Globes party downtown, I stayed inside my home and watched the ceremony. That Betty Suarez has my heart and my job! Three cheers for Ugly Betty and its surprise win. Three cheers for immigrant stories! Three cheers for the underdog!
It's a much nicer day in Toronto today despite puddles, slush and seasonably normal temperatures below zero. Follow my adorable grandma's lead. Stay warm, wear a tuque.
