First couple of hours of snow day Monday went well! Got kid outside and they played with neighbour kids (doesn't happen often) making mazes in the snow and tunnels (supervised) while dads cleared some sidewalks and part of the streetcar platform 
And the double-walled mug kept my coffee warm inside for two hours 
And radiators are great for drying clothes afterward 
Afternoon of snow day Monday went alright. Managed to convince kid to go tobogganing at Bellwoods, met up a friend there, got some nice runs, went over jumps three times - one I decided to do by myself, took it full speed, apparently got some decent air, and I certainly felt the landing.
BTW tobogganing at the Bellwoods bowl is prohibited by signs citing Toronto Municipal Code #608 and I have rarely seen a prohibition more actively flouted in Toronto.
Hot chocolate afterwards. Kid had been spoiled by my habits of very rich hot chocolate at home and was a little surprised by the cafe version.
Many sidewalks on Dundas and Ossington aren't cleared, I pulled kid on sled most of the way. The plows evidently aren't coming to save us, we have to grab the shovels and get digging.
Train of four Queen streetcars after a 40 minute gap, as you do.
