If you are living in the GTA I’m sure you are aware of the intense amount of snow we woke up to. After digging myself out of my house I was able to get out to snap some pictures of people trying to make their way to work. We also wrapped the day with an absolutely beautiful sunset. Pretty dramatic day when it comes to weather.
Bonus points to me for CBC News using the image of people lined up on the Danforth waiting for the bus in one of their web stories from today. Woo!
Wind and blowing snow at Woodbine Beach. This Winter Station seems to be holding up pretty well, but it’s signage has seen better days.
I have been waiting for some winter weather to hit before I got out to photograph this years Winter Stations at Woodbine Beach. I thought I might have been SOL since just yesterday I was out at the beach for a run and it was mighty sunny, it felt well above 0°C and all the snow was melting. This year I guess I would be taking some spring-themed Winter Station photos, but lo’ and behold! This afternoon the winter weather came in with a vengeance. It was a little chilly at first, but the sun was shining. Within a few minutes of walking around the wind started to pick up and the snow really started to blow. I got my wintery Winter Station images, hooray! These came at a price though. I wasn’t really expecting this weather so I was caught shooting glove-less. Usually not a big deal. However, this time I had the weirdest thing happen to my hands. After I got back in from the cold they swelled up. I’ve been out in the cold shooting with thin gloves or no gloves lots of times before, in far worse weather too, but I have never experienced this phenomenon before. I found it comical how big they got. Luckily once I ran them under some warm water they went back down to their normal size.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy these wintery Winter Station images, I almost lost my hands for these ones!
This is what “feels like -32°C” looks like. These shots were all taken at Ashbridge’s Bay in Toronto, Ontario.
Here are a few images taken during the big snow storm we had a couple days back. I’m so happy to have some winter weather in the city.
