When Snow Looks Like Plastic...

When I was travelling throughout the Greater Toronto Area and ended up in Scarborough, visiting friend and itinerant writer Nina Munteanu who was cat and housesitting near the Scarborough Bluffs, I fell upon a very strange phenomenon. I call it "plastic snow"...

I went to bed one night and the following morning the snow on the ground was enveloped in a layer of very thin ice that had congealed. It looked as though the world had been plasticized!

The effect was very cool ... but slippery for a light stuffed cat like me... I had to be careful!

Here are some cool shots I took...
