Us NON-GTA Ontarians still chuckle at that Army rescue attempt everytime Torontonians complain about a couple of inches of snow. Right now the GTA is green while the northern and eastern parts of the province have a nice cover of fresh snow.

Actually, I remember it well. As I recall, there wasn't actually all that much snow compared to what other municipalities in Ontario get, but the problem is that because Toronto doesn't typically get much, it also does not have nearly the number of snowplows available to deal with it that other municipalities have. Add to that the fact that in the central part of the city most homes don't have driveways and rely on street parking, leaving only one lane for through traffic. So with not enough plows or snowmelters to remove snow quickly, nowhere to plow it to, and having to navigate around parked cars while dealing with it, the streets can get plugged up in a hurry if there is a major snow dump--leaving people stranded.

You are correct for the most part. Toronto and Vancouver are exceptions to that rule. .....Although as we speak Vancouver is supposed to get 20cm of snow in the next day or so, very unusual there.

....and by the age of four we are capable of locating and plugging in a block heater cord!

Re: Scores and Highlights 09-10
Perhaps thats why such a large percentage of the country's population lives in Toronto and Vancouver--actually 22.5%, I just looked it up!
Actually, if you hate snow and cold, the best weather in the country by a mile belongs to Victoria where it is relatively balmy year round. Mmm, no wonder UVic and UBC are becoming popular destinations for grads from my daughter's school.

Re: Scores and Highlights 09-10
Well at least you get chinooks. I remember going out to Calgary in February once on business for a couple of days at it was > 20 degrees C (translation: >70 degrees F) . It was actually warmer than in LA, where I was next headed.

Re: Scores and Highlights 09-10
Funny you should mention..forecast calls for a Chinook to roll in tonight and temperatures around 0 to + 1C tommorow. The "Snow Eater" will be around for at least 4 or 5 days then on to more seasonal temps of -10C through the holiday season. That is if you can beleive the weather forecasters....

Weather forecasting is a job you can get paid a lot of money to do incorrectly. (did that come out the way I meant it?)

Good gut check to end up with a tie. They need to pick up a win on Saturday in the home on home.

Union 3, North Dakota 1 - FINAL - Alana Marcinko gets her second win of the season for the Dutchwomen with a 34-save effort. Based on shots, UND outplayed Union in the 3rd but couldn't light the lamp.
Also... Northeastern 3, Yale 0 - FINAL. Leah Sulyma gets her second start of the season, her second win, and the 32-save shutout for Huskies.
I wonder if Union College is using student interns for their live stats and they're on break, too, because they never got the live stats going. At any rate, here are the results of today's two non-conference matchups...A WCHA team gets back into action with tonight's game between North Dakota and Union, but unfortunately Union's live stats aren't working... They still have all the data from the Union vs. Maine game in the system.

From Northeastern at Yale I threw together the photos I took from today there. They're not the greatest, but I do what I can. http://s380.photobucket.com/albums/oo241/dfpsports/NEatYale/ Wish I had captured the Kehoe goal in a photo.
I've finished a write up on the game as well.
