In his blog, CityNews meteorologist Michael Kuss suggested Torontonians not be too shocked to see a few unhealthy trees down.

Indeed.

Residents of the condo community at the foot of Livingston Rd. got to see the venerable old willow at its gate drop one mighty bough during last week’s storminess.

One of the neighbourhood’s street signs also signaled defeat at the corner of Sylvan Avenue.

Despite frequent sub-10 C weather and rip-roaring wind and rain during this autumn’s blustery early days, the colour green still holds ground.

Nonetheless, summer is in steady retreat as winter’s advance continues.

The coming week isn’t expected to be much friendlier, with plenty of wind, rain and chilliness in the works.

At least Toronto, unlike other spots in the province, isn’t due for snow yet. Knock wood.
