Photo: Snowed-In Bixi

On this colder-than-usual May day, I thought it might be instructive to remind everyone in Toronto of what we're leaving behind. While winter seemed to drag on forever this past year--when I landed on November 30th it was snowing, and then December felt like an endless 1 or 2 degrees above freezing with pattering rain--we did get a few significant dumps. I took this shot of the Bixi station at Telus House in early February, and shock of shocks, not many people are using a bike-sharing service in the middle of a blizzard. I have seen people use it since, though, so that's something.
