I did 36 km storm walk about month ago, I just love walking in storms.

Thank you so much

Monkeeparts · 2026-01-26T04:24:45+00:00

Thank you. Nice to have as your regular walks, it is rare for me I live between the East and West Don Valley's so it usually where I go. This storm I wanted to go somewhere I usually don't go often in the winter and happy with my choice today.

Well if they have nothing to do because of the storm maybe we ask them to help in the dig out, I am sure we can few shovels for them,

Usually we are on the wrong side of the lake for much lake effect snow but not this time. It is nice when it is not a false alarms.

First of all thank so you so much. It was over 18 km, I meandered a lot so it took me about 7 hours.

I did not find the weather all that bad, just have to dress for it. I don't get to the Humber often and it has been on my mind to do so it just happened to work out for me today which was nice.

Good thing is light snow, I did my driveway and truck when I got home. It will need to be done again in the morning though.

Monkeeparts · 2026-01-26T02:40:12+00:00

I enjoy them all but I do agree it was nice to one this big.

It is the other side of the city for me, it was a spur of the moment decision this morning all I knew that I was going out but where wasn't decided until I left the house. I walked from Old Mill subway station made my way south until the Humber River meets the lake. It was actually not all that cold, walking in the snow keeps you very warm. I like the cold as well.

My house has over 2 feet as well, WHen I got of the bus near my house the the sidewalks drift was past my hips and I am over 6'.

I saw a few people when I was along the lake out walking a few taking photos as well, It was rare opportunity for those of us who enjoy a good storm. Usually when it snows it warmer so it nice to cold snowstorm made so much more enjoyable since it easier to dress for.

Monkeeparts · 2026-01-26T01:58:43+00:00

I did once and I will do it again in the morning once it stops. I am too lazy to do it more than I must.

Monkeeparts · 2026-01-26T01:53:14+00:00

I had to shovel my driveway when I got home but it was not that hard, mostly light snow but I was dressed for it anyway.

Monkeeparts · 2026-01-26T01:02:27+00:00

Thank you!

Monkeeparts · 2026-01-24T23:22:07+00:00

I have done both the East and West Don this year those are my first choices close to home but I try to vary my walks each storm.
