Slideshow: 19 haunting, fun and beautiful photos of Toronto in the snow
Slideshow: 19 haunting, fun and beautiful photos of Toronto in the snow
The winter of 2013-14 has been a snowy one. We won’t know the final centimetre-by-centimetre totals for a few months yet, but if water-cooler complaints and streetcar breakdowns are any indication, Torontonians have had enough of the white stuff for this season. But with six weeks left to go before spring officially begins (thanks a bunch, Wiarton Willie), perhaps the city should look on the bright side. We asked readers to send us pictures of the city in the snow, capturing the fun and beauty of it all for us to share. Here, a collection of the images submitted to us from our Flickr pool, our Facebook page and via email.
