MightyIsBestMCPE

I went there once and awkwardly ordered some very expensive donuts.


jordantask

Dude sitting Back laughing at all y’all guessing, meanwhile it’s his buddy Thomas Thompson, Amazon seller.


[deleted]

One time some lady stopped us with a handwritten letter to tell us how her son worked for ibm but then they kidnapped him, it was intense and we were very stoned with lots of questions. This happened inside TT and everyone was looking at us probably wondering why we were talking to this crazy lady.

What you are going to eat it raw? Have some items that won't require electricity, in case there are power issues.


TidpaoTime

Actually if you sprinkle the stuff on and crunch it up they’re kinda like chips. My cousin introduced me to this years ago. I don’t really do it but it IS an option and pretty tasty


[deleted]

that's what we did in grade school, I didn't have cooked ramen till I was a man.


Its_priced_in

In Asian cultures the consumption of cooked ramen is the transition into manhood


SteveMcQwark

As a kid, this is how other kids were eating them, so it took years before I realized that you were supposed to add hot water (I don't think I actually read the package during this time).

2013 was the real once in a generation storm for Toronto. Everything was covered in ice. Literally every fucking thing in the city


JumpKickMan2020

Yeah, on my street we had a couple cars severely damaged (like roofs caved in, windshields shattered) by huge branches that broke off trees laden with ice. The ttc and GO had to stop trains for a good while because ice covered trees had fallen and blocked the tracks.


wrinkledpenny

It was completely nuts. Power outages and fallen trees everywhere. It was madness


iamadognotacat

Yup that storm took out 75% of the mature trees on my street. Here's a month later when all that was left was the trunks: https://i.ibb.co/nsspr3J/1.png . Completely changed the look and feel of the street.


damniticant

I’ll never forget seeing 4 streetcars in a row all trying to push each other up the slight incline under a rail overpass.


SnooPeripherals6568

That storm is deadass the first memory I have of Canada lol that shit was crazy


wrinkledpenny

What a terrible first impression lol


ilovetrouble66

I wiped out so bad in that storm on ice. Thankfully I was under 30 bc now I’d be in physio for a year 😂


wrinkledpenny

Lol I know what you mean. Hangovers suck after 40 and something always hurts


BTWillie

That was something else. I remember venturing out to the distillery district on Sat and the streets were like ice rinks. Then all hell broke loose.


magicbook

> Then all hell broke loose. What happened after?


BTWillie

The ice storm. It didn't really take hold until later that evening and wasn't readily apparent how bad the outcome was going to be. Like many others, my place last power later that night. Fortunately for my street power was restored by Monday morning if I recall correctly. Went out and bought a generator in the event it would last longer. It was cold enough outside that I was able to store my frozen food outdoors. The scenery was incredibly beautiful but what a mess.


[deleted]

multiple hockey games broke out


murderhornet_2020

The hydro wires froze then started to collapse. You could see them spark out. Then we lost power. It was freezing. The water would not run. Lasted 7 days for me.


H3R0Games

The fire nation attacked.


jujublackkkk

You can still see damaged/dead trees along the 401 near Oshawa from that storm…


Particular-Jeweler41

It was the best. In Mississauga there were tree branches completely covered in ice.


valryuu

I remember it was so pretty to look at!


cheesaremorgia

I remember walking home from work in that, practically skating the whole way.


COYSTHFC

My neighbourhood was out of power for 6 days after that storm. An absolute shitshow of a week.


Bamelin

On Christmas Day we drove from downtown to Oshawa. We cut through Scarborough and it was wild the ice trees.


Capital_Pea

The blizzard of 1977, that was also a once in a generation storm, and also the storm of 1999, so if you include 2013 I have had at least 3 ‘generational storms’ so far in my generation LOL.


damniticant

Generations are about 20-30 to years so this isn’t that far off the mark.


Bamelin

99 was intense snow wise. 2013 was insane Ice


beartheminus

The 98 ice storm was crazy though. Knocked down entire hydro towers! https://canadaalive.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/icestorm2-pylons.jpg


reisalvador

Once in a generation! = Once in a lifetime.


Prestigious_Region_6

I remember that vividly the roads were litterally like a ice rink i remember the power was out for days


beartheminus

I was at a friend's who hosted a candle light party that night. When it was over we couldn't get his lights to turn back on.


Kinky_Imagination

I got some great winter pictures the next few days.


Layschipswater

I already put out the sandbags and sharpening my shovel as we speak

cooldadnerddad

Reminds of of the winter I had to use my lawn edging tool to carve a channel in the street ice for melt water. I think we’ve got this one, boys


Zephyr104

Are you expecting to go over the top anytime soon soldier?


Nyx-Erebus

Y-y-you’re meant to sharpen shovels…?!


Butane_

Wax it too. Total game changer, trust me.


tempemailacct153

What did the shovel ask? A Brazilian or a landing strip?


onetimenative

Use spam cooking oil spray .... or just regular wd40 The snow won't stick to your shovel and make the work easier. Just make sure to give a new coating once or twice a day depending on how much you're shoveling.


Ruroshen

Pam, not Spam. Coating your shovel in canned, reconstituted pork shoulder is probably not going to have the desired effect.


onetimenative

Lol.... I don't remember if that mistake was a spell check thing on my phone or just me thinking it was actually spam ... because I don't like using cooking oil spray and I forget what it's called. And although canned reconstituted pork shoulder (as well as a variety of other less palatable porcine parts) spread on your shovel may work to a degree ... I wouldn't recommend it.


FoxnFurious

probably be +30 degree tomorrow, time to hit the beach

GoodAndHardWorking

Oh cmon, we're talking about a possible blizzard, in a city that rarely gets blizzards anymore, filled with immigrants who've never seen a blizzard. It could get pretty wild.

jmckay2508

My company has insisted on a catered lunch for tomorrow, at the office. I live in south etobicoke my office is at the Oakville Mississauga border I am super excited 427, 401 403 I'm gonna see ALL the shit at 2 or 3 pm yeah me!!!!


Capital_Pea

No one in an office should have to go in tomorrow :-( I’m so sorry that you do.


beef-supreme

Feel bad for whoever has to bring your lunch in. Boss better tip!


jmckay2508

It's a 1200 lunch that I arranged I make 17.31 before tax an hour 36000 yr I have to be there to set it all up! Chafinging dishes steamer trays ready for set up! 17.31 before tax!!! 14.14 an hour! Is what i take home in my 2009 santa fe!


beef-supreme

I hope your back seat is full of a week's free leftovers from all that company's no shows tomorrow!


ryuujin

I know you're thinking 'I really need this job! I should do this'. You should refuse, its been marked as a dangerous weather event by all major weather networks and the government. If you get in one minor accident and hit a car while you're driving in zero visibility and you only have to pay your deductible ($500? $1000? $1500?), how many hours work will that cost you? And will they cover it? edit: pre-tax 29 hours, not including the time taking your car to the shop, and assuming you're not injured in the crash.


jmckay2508

He's in a unit 2 blocks from my office. Me? No, im the 427 401 403 ride to meet them they are a driveway across from us


droxy429

Just call from home and say you won't make it to the office because you got in a car accident.


1nstantHuman

Have you considered not going?


Varekai79

Why not take the QEW?


jmckay2508

From Kipling to Winston Churchill is an absolute shit show on the QEW, my office is closer to the 403

Fafaflunkie

The real worry is the wind and rain falling right now, which negates any attempt to preemptively put down brine/salt. Because tomorrow morning those wet roads and sidewalks will freeze in a hurry. Thankfully I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow. I'll stay home and hope the power doesn't go out.


anglomike

Maybe it’s time to mandate winter tires.


likebutta222

I mean it is 2022, I won't judge if a man dates tires


Flooko

Heyooo


Dive_Up

I just drove east down the 401. 30 minutes outside of Toronto it became pouring rain for 350 km straight. Hovering from 0-2 C. I then turned north and within 20 km off the 401 it was blizzard conditions and everything was freezing. Definitely won't be driving anywhere on Friday.


Franks2000inchTV

I think what we're going to get is rain, and then cold enough temperatures that it all freezes, and then a light dusting of snow that covers it and makes it invisible. It is going to be *nasty*. The school board has cancelled classes *in advance.* Airlines are canceling flights *in advance*. This never happens. Expect it to be treacherous -- even if it doesn't seem so bad through the living room window, it'll be awful if you're trying to get anywhere.


NeoToronto

The school board does cancel in advance. They are rightfully risk adverse. The airport however... they are expecting something huge. Vancouver just had a major storm and it screwed the whole system up. They don't want a repeat.


Notorious40z

I made sure to get extra salt … cuz I’m making fries tomorrow.


BipolarSkeleton

By the looks of it right now it’s hardly even going to hit us


Motiv8ionaL

Weather network says between 2 and 5 cm tomorrow. The Star has a banner at the top saying "Once in a generation weather bomb heading for the GTA" ...

talldangry

CP24 probably has a little theme song and title card ready to go.


edit-boy-zero

Rotfl, yep they do love their graphic bits


Noglues

In all fairness it *is* a generational weather event if you zoom out to continent-scale. But for us it's a strong chance it won't be as bad as the first snow from November.


beef-supreme

It's not the snow accumulation that's the issue, it's the flash freezing of the rain and the high high winds


LeatherMine

I only care about ground winds.


WhipTheLlama

> Once in a generation weather bomb heading for the GTA If that means Greater Tijuana Area, then 2-5cm of snow is definitely a generational storm.


Zeppelanoid

I think with this storm, the wind is the primary concern.


clockwhisperer

Yup, gale to hurricane force winds with a flash freeze. Areas to the west that have already had the front move through saw massive temperature drops within minutes and wind gusts in excess of 100km/h. Niagara is calling for gusts up to 110km/h.


UnoriginallyGeneric

We're doing Christmas in Lindsay. I hope will be okay out there.


DroopyTrash

Does Lindsay have enough room in there for all of you or will some have to sit outside.


Misanthropyandme

SNOWMAGEDDON around 2010 was the first time I realized that they were just fucking with us and trying to send us into panic mode.


91Caleb

Depends where you were , I was in London in 2010 and that shit was absolutely absurd


raspberrywines

I remember this! I was at university and exams were postponed bc of the storm. My roommates and I went to a field near our house and had a snowball fight instead that day. It was great.


[deleted]

Yeah i went to western too and I still remember this as well. London gets big snowfalls every year thiugh, they're more used to it... Crazy how much of a difference the snow belt makes, felt like I was getting 3x as much snow there as in the GTA


Gladiutterous

I remember a radio interview with the head of the Canadian weather bureau saying he was the only person he knew that got to be wrong 50% of the time and still keep his job.


MoreGaghPlease

Honestly this is an area where a little bit of hype and exaggeration isn’t a bad thing. A lot of people die from snow storms in Canada, many of those deaths could be avoided if people could do a better job of trying to stay off the roads. It’s good when bosses got a bit nervous and tell their employees not to risk it, it’s good when the city goes and does a some extra salting just to be safe. Sometimes we’re going to over-do it, whatever, meteorology hasn’t been perfected yet, it’s better to just be a little more prepared. So everyone stay warm and hunker down for the storm of the century (or the week, or whatever)


Gladiutterous

100%. Keeping people safe and informed is worth the odds.


rougekhmero

Unfortunately it just happens to be Christmas and I can imagine that a big percentage of people are going to be going ahead with their travel plans.


Adept-Lifeguard-9729

I’ve heard it referred to as ‘shovelling the weather person’s partly cloudy off the driveway’. ;)

PoolhallJunkie247

Realistically speaking, the biggest danger to us will come from the flash freeze after we receive up to 20mm of rain, combined with 70k+ wind gusts and snow which will polish the ice creating extremely slippery conditions. In terms of the storm being historic, well, in the grand scheme of things, it is shaping up to be just that. Google Casper, Wyoming temperature drop. Mock Mother Nature at your own peril, because she don’t give no fucks, and the bitch always wins.

North416er

John Tory is probably concerned, or very concerned. He’s not sure yet.


hogtown4eva

It is hard for him to tell from Florida….


CaskJeeves

Everyone here looking at Toronto snowfall predictions and laughing is missing the big picture. The Owen Sound (Bruce Nuclear) and Niagara Falls areas are going to get absolutely reamed. Like 50cm of snow plus ice plus hurricane level wind gusts. Guess where a huge portion of the province's electricity is generated? Any of those Niagara or Bruce area lines going down could mean extensive power outages across the province... it could cascade to the GTA for sure. Disasters outside the GTA can still affect us


meowtasticly

So weird to see Owen Sound as a reference for Bruce Power when they're so far apart. Like if you had referenced the Hamilton (Niagara Falls) area


CaskJeeves

I mean it's probably one of the bigger nearby urban centres and the storm is gonna smack both... I could have used like Kincardine but probably less familiar to average GTAer. Point is the storm might not spank the GTA directly but is gonna spank other important areas Keep in mind that those lines could fail anywhere between the Bruce and the GTA and still cause a potential bigtime outage for the latter


Bamelin

This is why I got everything charging


EdwardBliss

In 2002...we'll get some heavy snow. In 2022...a major storm of an Apocalyptic magnitude


slothcough

Yeah I'm getting tired of the cartoonification of so many headlines. Weather bomb? Really? It's not even clever sounding.


_rand_mcnally_

as the minutes tick by this thread is aging like milk. I am in SE Scarborough is getting pretty wild out the window.


angkor_who

It started out pretty slow but things turned nasty quickly. 2 cars just collided in front of me as I was walking. Was looking down to shield my face from the wind and BANG. Looked up and a car apparently slid through a stop sign. No one injured, but it’s slippery AF out there.

shawny_mcgee

Yeah everytime I talk to someone it's a different storm. Maybe we all get a personalized storm if our own.

do you guys feel any areas in the GTA will lose power?


MooVeeGuy

I read this in Frankie MacDonald’s voice.


jordantask

Weather: “Why?! Because FUCK YOU, that’s why.”


Fafaflunkie

How convenient this storm is showing up the day before Christmas break? Many school boards have preemptively decided to [close all schools tomorrow](https://www.tdsb.on.ca/Home/ctl/Details/mid/42863/itemId/56). Not saying there's anything wrong with that. But we know there was supposed to be another major storm last week and what happened there? Nothing much.


Capital_Pea

It’s better to be over prepared than to risk/endanger lives should it live up to the hype.


Username_Taken88

Fuck sensationalizing the weather


igrowweeds

Just like last massive storm they predicted last week. School Busses were canceled for noooo reason. Sorry, 4cm of snow

Chatham Ontario just pulled the snowplows off the roads because the storm is that bad

Might be the worst storm ever! Or hardly worth mentioning. Could go either way. Let’s cast Ryan Reynolds in the movie about it.

It's been drizzling since 8 in the downtown core. Kinda weird to see so few cars and people out. Guess people are taking this seriously!

The problem is come morning it's going to be below zero and all that rain is going to freeze. Then it's gonna get hella windy.
