Etobicoke Snow Storm: My only blizzard footage from my time in Toronto.

This was shot with no tripod, after midnight and after a few glasses of wine. Warnings said the gusts were 70-80km/hr. The storm was occurring right outside my apartment complex. There is a roundabout/cul de sac type of thing that creates unique wind patterns between the three buildings. Near the end of the video, I got caught right in a huge gust that created a vortex in the playground. I was stuck there and a bit disoriented. The footage is quite shaky at this part because I'm being pelted in the eyes with snow so I keep turning my face away from the wind, and thus moving the camera. I would have gotten better shots with goggles and a tripod.
