This {{{{was}}} the big one for the North and South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario, Canada. We’ll be DRIVING CAREFULLY over to this venue, as there’s an ORANGE ALERT for potential snow squalls blasting away from Lion’s Head all the way up to Tobermory, Ontario, Canada. Link to Environment Canada.

No stupid nor careless driving to-and-from the venue. Green eyeball = pay attention, eh.
