I am across Lake Ontario from you in Toronto, it has been really cold
here too, but sounds like you are getting the (dis)advantage from the
winds blowing over all that ice.

Yup - but the up side is that despite the snow we have received in February,
we have been spared a lot. Ontario is now 67% frozen over - the first time
since we have been recording weather information. That means we've been hit
by a great deal less Lake Effect snow that what we're accustomed to. If
we'd have received our normal Lake Effect on top of the snow we did receive
this year, it would have been ugly. We're near our annual normal snowfall
right now - without Lake Effect. You guys up there in Toronto can keep all
that cold air you keep sending down to us...
