Snow. We haz it.

The snow. It fell. Like it does in winter, in Canada.
As the blizzard hit in the morning and was predicted to worsen all day  => =>   Snow Day!

We broke records for a single day snow fall, and we got the most snow in Ontario (or Southern Ontario - news happened pre-coffee)
We didn't lose power - Yay!
They've plowed our street - *lifting jaw up off the floor*
We've dug out ... and the sun is shining.
