26 amazing internet reactions to this weekend's nasty ice storm
This weekend, the Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario collectively hid inside while a powerful ice storm rocked the province.
Some regions saw powerful winds, heavy rainfall, and ice pellets bring down trees and power lines, while other areas woke up to ice-coated backyards and driveways resembling ice rinks.
Considering we’re two weeks away from the month of May, the internet can hardly contain itself.
From memes and gifs to downright hilarious statuses, here are some of the more notable reactions from the ice storm this weekend.

It looks like Toronto is still experiencing Stormchella. Headliners include wind, rain and snow. As always, we’ll provide updates first thing in the morning if buses and/or schools will be impacted by the weather. #onstorm pic.twitter.com/ct1RTQVw6s
