What do you mean, the busses are running?
Oh no, the north wind doth blow... Okay, okay, so it's a western wind - but it's wickedly cold!
A Californian weather system has pushed the first winter storm, a week or so early of actual "winter", into Ontario. The wind pushed Simone sideways when she walked the dog and the wet snow that funneled from the sky slid down the back of her neck, sending chills reverberating along her spine.
Anticipating the backlash from the young ones, Simone dutifully checked the weather channel upon returning from her walk. The weather channel reported a winter storm warning for the area. The bus company reported... "There are no Lates and Cancellantion for today"
Simone checked again and again. In spite of the high winds and copious snow, the busses appeared to be running. Spelling mistakes and poor grammar appeared to be present as well.
Simone will have a quiet morning at home after all!
