dsn Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yeah around 3pm into 3:30pm a massive snow storm moved into the GTA. With whiteout conditions. It past me by and was heading towards the city of Toronto. Reports have it that there are blackouts in local areas. The system cleared up at 3:45pm as I watched the sun break through the white fallin snow. It moved very quick. And did some damage. dsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketchenany Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Just after 3:30 we had the short blizzard out of our building Cliff; has if you didn't notice . . . and the poor men on those balconies across from us sure hightailed it out fast. Even the falcon on your building went to hide for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmtcanada Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 They found that kayaker..... http://www.thestar.com/News/Ontario/article/280675 Kayaker found dead in Lake Ontario Nov 28, 2007 11:16 AM Tamsyn Burgmann Staff Reporter A kayaker who went missing on Lake Ontario yesterday amid snow squalls and high winds was found dead this morning along the Niagara shoreline. The Brantford man, 45, was still in his kayak when his body was discovered around 9 a.m. near Grimsby, said Hamilton police Acting Staff Sgt. Chris Wills. Concerned individuals in Fifty Point Park first called police around 3 p.m. Tuesday when the man left shore despite treacherous weather. He was wearing a wetsuit. A search team, including members of the Canadian Coast Guard and the Hamilton and Niagara police marine units, set off in winds gusting up to 90 km/h and waves three to five metres high, but had no success last night. “We had to pull our boat back because it was starting to ice up,” Wills said, adding a helicopter from Canadian Forces Base Trenton searched until the early hours of the morning. Police haven’t yet released the man’s name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
