Freak weather

Okay, we've had cold snaps and snow on and off for a couple of weeks now, but on Tuesday we had the most bizarre weather I've ever seen. Looking out the window of the lounge it was relatively clear and you could see right the way around the lake. A couple of minutes later a massive set of grey clouds rolled in. There was a giant curtain of grey air that just blanketed the view. Imagine something out of a science fiction movie where a giant curtain of weather just rolls forward.

Anyway this curtain of sleet and snow just rolled in from the west, you could see it advancing quite rapidly and clearly. It was solid and as it moved in it just devoured buildings as it came. Really bizarre watching condo towers just disappear into this band of murk that was coming forward at a great pace.

Then it hit us. Massive sleet for several minutes, the side window of the lounge just completely sleeted up solid and you couldn't see a thing. Then it was gone, and three minutes later we had blinding sunlight.

Never seen anything like it, very bizarre. It was like something was travelling along just eating up the city as it came.

Well now we're down to snow squalls at irregular intervals and it's -9 outside at the minute. This proved unfortunate for the film crew outside filming Jude Law's new film at the tower opposite last night, but what do they expect doing filming in Toronto in November?
