In Ontario where a brush winter extends from November until April, snowstorms are regular occurrence. People adjust their travel plans, sports activities and especially their mode of dress when the weather forecasters predict a severe snowstorm. Automobile drivers must be more cautious under these circumstances. Snow removal becomes a major expense for northern cities. Families adjust their weekend plans and stay together at home, sitting safely in front of a blazing fire, and viewing a video, the beauty of fluffy white snow can be appreciated when it blankets stately evergreens standing against a deep blue sky.
在安大略,严酷的冬天从十一月一直延续到四月,常常有暴风雪。当气象预报员预报说有恶劣的暴风雪时,人们就得调整他们的旅游和体育运动计划,特别是调整他们的衣着。汽车驾驶员在这样的环境里必须更加小心。除雪成了北方城市的主要开支之一。家庭调整了他们的周末休假计划,一起呆在家里,安全地坐在炽热的炉火前观看录像。当挺拔的常青树上挂满蓬松的白雪时,人们就可以欣赏在深蓝色天空衬托下的美丽雪景了。
In 1998, Ontario residents were crippled by a severe ice storm. Peoples lives came to a grinding halt when power lines crumpled under the weight of the ice. People lived without electricity for weeks. Remote parts of the province resumed normal living conditions after several months. Rocks, trees and lakes abound in the Canadian Shield area of Ontario. Electrical storms provide spectacular entertainment for summer evenings. Zigzag bolts of lightening flash across the sky the clap of thunder echoes across the water. Each storm provides a remarkable drama, one without parallel in nature.
