Toronto set a new record for snow. Likely close to 60cm and then some drifting. Light and fluffy and major cold -20C
Most snow fall in 24 hours
Month / January 2026
Only thought about the garden twice today, ha
22cm of snow!
Winter had a big day yesterday. Lots of snow – almost 10 inches of nice fluffy easy to shovel snow. Chilly at -11C . A bit more snow expected with temperatures seesawing to above zero and back down.
A large hawk sat in the Sycamore tree for two days before the snow. A lot of bird shit for one animal. Delighted to host an apex predator!
Happy 2026!
Pulled the amaryllis bulbs out from under the attic eaves today. All seven are firm, green and look really healthy. I had packed them in vermiculite in open plastic bags. The vermiculite still has a nice hint of moisture. I want to plant them up this week. Minus 7 feels like -17, some sun and a nice dusting of snow over everything.
