Shot yesterday afternoon with my Kodak C763 camera.
Here's a short viddy of what a good ol' fashioned Ontario snow squall looks like. A short example of what we get to drive in around these parts. You really don't want to get caught in one of these while you're driving. They can happen completely at random, are totally unpredictable and can last anywhere from a few minutes to hours at a time.

Holy Moly!!
btw... the sound you hear (besides me) is not the wind but the guys working across the street in the rail-yard. They strap these big arsed blowers to their backs and use 'em to blow the snow out of the switches.

Seems like you'll need to be crankin the heat eh? 
It's raining so much around here... non-stop for three days- we actually got snow flakes coming down here too!! That's not normal for SF.
Damn, it's like I tried to escape that and it followed me down here.

hehe...
I know I talk way too much about the weather, but I can't help it. It's a Canadian thing.
Did you know that the annual Canadian Weather Calendar, put out by Environment Canada, is the #1 selling calendar in Canada?
It even outsells the Playboy calendar. Now if that doesn't tell you something about Canadians I don't know what will.
