Tochi's Hut

Season's biggest storm hit the Northeast on Valentine's Day. Toronto, once again, got spared much of the blunt of the storm. Total accumulation was only around 15-20cm. Much better than the feet of snow in other nearby areas. Still, to my dismay, there was a fortified bank of snow around my house courtesy of the City of Markham.

Ithaca, on the other hand, supposedly got more snow, forcing Cornell to declare a state of Snow emergency for the first time in 14 years, shutting down classes, buildings, gyms, oakenshields, etc. However, the national guard of students with their trays (both Oakies and Jansen's) and sleds were mobilized to perform rescue duties for those who have trouble getting down Libe slope. That pathway across the middle of the slope is still as deadly as I remembered. Some nice jumps off that near the end of the video. See the action for yourself:
