We got over 50 cm of snow yesterday in Toronto (we normally don’t get this much). The schools are closed today – thankfully! But I’m sure they’ll be open tomorrow. Not sure how people are going to get there because the streets are a mess! By the way, schools RARELY close – don’t want to deprive the parents of their free babysitting.
