Poor Toronto thinks they have a lot of snow... I thought I'd show Toronto what snow really looks like. :) #OntarioSnowDays Share your snow photos!!!
Toronto says they have a lot of snow. Welcome to Barrie, Ontario. In the second photo, two children are playing across the street, if you can find them in the snow. #OntarioSnowDays

Have you ever seen a stone barn in Ontario? This one is in Grey County.. I don't think I have ever seen this, or another stone barn here, in Ontario. More often in European places, and usually quite a bit older. #SaveOntarioBarns www.ontariobarnpreservation.com/2021/05/17/a...
