A family Canadian Christmas get-together from about 1967. I have cousins and an aunt (my dad’s sis) and uncle and my dad as the adults in this pic. There’s me, my brother, and my cousins after that. No one in the kitchen one looks happy. My brother, the 2nd littlest, looks fearful. We may have just gotten yelled at by the host (not kidding!) It is after all the kid’s table.

From the Weather Network Friday night forecast for this weekend:
The storm will begin to tap into some Gulf of Mexico moisture on Saturday as it moves towards the Great Lakes, ending up close to Chicago by Saturday evening. The first snow from this system will begin to fall along highway 17 between the Sault and Wawa on Saturday afternoon.
The main push of precipitation will move into Southern and Northeast Ontario later Saturday night into Sunday morning. This is where it gets tricky. Most communities in Southern/Northeastern Ontario and Southern Quebec can expect between 10-30 mm of precipitation. In places like the Sault, Sudbury, Kirkland Lake, and North Bay this will be all snow meaning that about 10-30 cm of snow could fall. In Southwestern Ontario, places like London and Kitchener can expect snow, wet snow, and a rain-snow mix – this will keep accumulations down, but make for a sloppy mess on Sunday.
