Here comes the snow... and cold


As the weather made its way north Monday, Environment Canada upgraded its special weather statement to a winter storm watch just before 11 a.m., covering all of southern Ontario — including Hamilton, Barrie, London and more.

Environment Canada warns that the weather could create dangerous, “near-paralyzing” conditions.

The weather office is advising people in Southern Ontario to be prepared to cancel travel plans, as heavy snowfall and blowing snow will likely produce whiteout conditions and make for extremely hazardous driving condition

“Wild weather” is headed to Toronto in the form of the worst snowstorm in at least two years, according to Environment Canada.

By the time the severe storm system has made its way through 29 U.S. states and four Canadian provinces, it will have affected 100 million people in North America, says Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips.

Starting around noon Tuesday, between 20 and 30 centimetres of snow — that’s nearly a foot of the white stuff — is expected to hit the Greater Toronto Area.

Heavy snowfall and winds gusting between 40 to 60 km/h will increase late into the night and continue into early Wednesday.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement encompassing all of southern Ontario — including Hamilton, Barrie, London and more — for what it’s calling a “major” snowstorm.

But Phillips said that will likely be upgraded to a storm warning or watch by Monday afternoon.

And the city’s current frigid temperatures — it’s a freezing -16 C, feeling like -22 C with the wind chill — will likely accompany the storm.

The mercury is expected sink to a low of -9 C both Tuesday and Wednesday. The average temperature for this time of year about -2 C.

The cause of the storm, said Phillips, is a low pressure system developing over the southern states: cold air from the north will combine with “warm sopping moist air from the south.”

“This is when wild weather breaks out,” he said.

But Phillips said location is everything, and there’s a chance the system could stay more to the south

“If it is, then it won’t beat us up as much,” adding that could cause Toronto to get more snow than areas further north. “The closer you are to Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, the more effect it’s going to have.”

But Ontario won’t see the worst of it: the storm is already brewing south of the border, bringing rain, snow, ice, hail and even tornadoes.

“All we’re going to deal with is snow, and blowing and drifting,” Phillips says.

Before noon tomorrow, Phillips predicts there will be a “dress rehearsal” for the big snow fall, saying there will likely be flurries beginning in the morning.

So far this winter, the most snowfall Toronto has seen in one day is 11 cm. Last winter, it was 9.6 cm in one day.

Temperature-wise, Phillips says it’s about three degrees colder than average, and Torontonians can expect below-freezing temperatures throughout the week.

Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore Booed in Brazil



While arriving at Sao Paolo Fashion Week in Brazil, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were booed after being typical Hollywood assholes and holding up the show for three hours, according to ITN. What’s amazing is how they’re still able to smile for the cameras and make playful chit-chat with each other while the crowd refuses to stop booing.

2 More Matrix Movies...? YAY!

Keanu Reeves has reportedly revealed that the Wachowski brothers are working on two more Matrix films.

Reeves, who played Neo in the first three Matrix movies, spoke about the upcoming sequels at a Q&A session in London, according to Ain't It Cool News.

Reeves said that he met with the Wachowski brothers at Christmas time, where they apparently stated that "they had completed work on a two-picture script treatment that would see him return to the world of The Matrix as Neo".

The Wachowski brothers will finish working on their current adaptation of Cloud Atlas before allegedly meeting with Reeves once again to discuss the Matrix sequels.

Witnesses say they saw a woman throw herself from the 23rd story of a Buenos Aires hotel Monday and survive.

The woman landed in a sitting position on the roof of a taxi whose driver got out just before the impact deeply dented his roof and shattered the windshield.

The woman, a 30-year-old Argentine, has injuries throughout her body and is being treated in the emergency room of the Hotel Argerich, said Alberto Crescenti, director of Argentina’s Emergency Medical System.

The taxi driver, who gave his name as Miguel, reportedly said he saw a policeman looking up and that prompted him to get out just before the driver’s side of the car was smashed by the woman’s body.

Another taxi driver, Juan Carlos Candame, told Associated Press Television News that he saw the woman climb over a barrier and jump into the void.

The woman fell from the top of the Hotel Crown Plaza Panamericano, where a restaurant overlooks the landmark Obelisk in downtown Buenos Aires.
