Snowstorm of 2007

This morning I woke up expecting a winter wonderland of snow outside my window. Man was I sadly mistaken. All I saw was about two centemetres of snow outside and a few flakes falling.

I headed out to investigate the snowstorm during my work at Aurora United Church this morning. I did a lot of shovelling this morning of the Church's sidewalks and walkways. Later on it got much worse. Here is what downtown Aurora looked like between 10:00 A.M. and 12 Noon:


Yonge Street looking south from the corner of Mosely Street


Yonge Street looking north from the corner of Mosely Street


Yonge Street looking south from Church Street


Yonge Street looking north from the corner of Church Street

There was, of course, lots of idiots on the road. The real question for these drivers was "why are you on the road in the worst snowstorm in recent memory?"

There was, as you can see from the pictures, reduced visibility and even whiteouts on Yonge Street in downtown Aurora. The commute on the way into work tomorrow morning will be interesting.
