Okay, I love the winter and all, but I'm done, thanks. Ol' Man Winter, please be kind and let Lady Spring come around for us. We've already had like 5 snowstorms and now we've got another one!
However, I saw this paragraph, and immediately was trying to solve it, Professor Layton-style:
GO buses north of Toronto are delayed by up to 90 minutes, and a problem relating to an overnight freight train derailment has forced service cancellations on the Georgetown line, with the exception of two trains out of Bramalea, one of which left at 5:50am, the other leaving at 7:40am. Two other trains were scheduled to depart the Mount Pleasant station - one at 7am the next at 7:27am.
...even though there's no puzzle in there. XD
(Speaking of Professor Layton, I recently heard that there's a side-story cartridge out there. Too bad it's only in Japan, and I get this feeling it won't be released here unless it's a download or something.)
Someone is brilliant and has gone to remove Garfield from his own comic strip. In Garfield Minus Garfield, you could almost call it "Jon" and it's a totally new experience. XD
And for a couple more reading articles to start your day, here's Cracked.com's 12 Great Video Games with Ridiculous Premises. Makes sense when you overthink what the heck Super Mario Bros. or Sonic the Hedgehog really is. And then there's Destructoid's Five Videogame Characters who suck at their jobs. Not that anyone actually has a job in videogame land, they usually get distracted by the game...

I've noticed small things that keep me sane on days like this: Cold snaps are getting shorter, storms are less frequent and when the sun's out, it's stronger than it used to be. Days are getting longer, too.

Oh yeah, that sun is ever-so-bright when it comes out. It's really nice, and the air isn't cold enough to freeze your lungs, so getting out for some fresh air actually is pleasant. :D
