It’s all about lowered standards.

Walking outside this morning was a real treat. Rather, it would have been a real treat had I not been running fifteen minutes late, but that’s not for here. The point is that the temperature was hovering around zero degrees when I left home, which we often forget is the melting point for water. Melting snow! Spring! I didn’t have to wrap my body mummy-style before stepping outside and it was glorious.

The good news is that, contrary to earlier reports, it looks like the snow’s going to leave gracefully, thanks to our “gentle thaw“.

The bad news is that, in some instances, the thaw won’t be so gentle. Case in point: the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal. It looks like the abandoned set from a 1992 game show came to life and is trying to eat the Royal Ontario Museum. And now it’s trying to kill us.
