Confirmed earthquake right around 11pm in Toronto. Also felt across a larger area of southern Ontario and western New York.
Amazing coverage from @ConsumerSOS & @AnthonyFarnell who braved the cold on Sunday and the @globalnewsto team! I had the luxury of spending the first part of my shift at the airport. Unfortunately, not flying anywhere warm 🥲#ONstorm
Snowstorm hitting downtown Toronto. Lighter than usual traffic. Many restaurants aren’t opening today. But Leafs-Avalanche game going ahead.
I’m reporting on the weather for @globalnewsto and @globalnational with our team including @AnthonyFarnell and @LexyBenedict. #ONStorm

Hours together, endless crowds, freezing temps—and still all smiles. It’s a lot easier spending long days side by side when you actually love the people you’re with. Grateful to be part of this Maple Leafs Square media pit family during Round 1
Coverage from Sunday, March 30th ❄️
This morning after spending the day reporting in Barrie yesterday for @globalnewsto. Too close to home — mass destruction in Barrie after the ice storm this weekend — after going to bed with no power last night. Trees coming down, the sound crackling .. insane.

I’ve lived through many ice storms and although the forest looks really bad now in the hardest hit areas, most of these trees will in fact recover. #onstorm
