These tweets perfectly sum up the winter storm on the east coast

Hibernation sounds good right about now.

It’s the dead of winter and Montreal and Toronto have been hit with an onslaught of cold, ice, and snow.

Sometimes when winter hits this hard, it’s easiest to just laugh at everything — and that’s exactly what Twitter is for. Plus, it’s really warm and cozy in the virtual world.

GIFs, memes, and jokes were keeping the Twitterverse warm last night and we’ve shovelled up a few of the best.

Let’s play a game – where could you have gone in the time it took you to get home? My commute was 4 hours – I could have flown to Cancun. #snowTO
