What an afternoon.....white washed road conditions...accidents galore.

Traffic chaos out there....and im not going home yet LOL

And the best news??!?! Freezing rain later 2nite after all the snowfall!!

Have fun torontonians!

[VorteC]

I had to bike home in the snow.. holy geez.

[narci]

It was raining and cold the other day and some guy in vancouver was riding his sports bike (motorcycle)...crazy.

Someone take a pic..i miss the snow.

[pcdawg]

Crazy. they say about 15 cm to drop and freezing rain later 2nite.

Took me about 1hr to get from Kennedy-Finch to Kennedy14th.

Funny i was at timmies at ken-north of 14th and saw a Magnum stuck uphill...he couldnt get up. I go in my car and had to go that route anyhow and it was still there.....then a newer Nissan Maxima was stuck and couldnt get up the hill either LOL so 2 cars about 25 feet from each other jsut at a standstill.

I just blew by them but my VSA was going off like crazy.

thx god! I am home now! I was not even able to move out the go train parking lot in the first place! then I just drove backward all the way to the entrance and then turn off the traction control and let the car spin out from the parking! And then I am not able to get up to my cresent so I drove backward again! Now I won't say Toronto winter is ok for RWD with snow tire! Toronto winter is ok for RWD with snow tire & driving backward... lol

I didnt have too much trouble at all. It was actually quite fun. Alot of people were on all-seasons and were having trouble. I did get stuck on steeles on the right lane just before woodbine heading west. stupid snow plows dumped all th snow on th side there and my lip was plowing the snow there LOL

Had to rock my car back and forth a bit to get myself over th bunched snow as I wanted to get gas at the esso.

Today's a different story. Sun is out very warm, th ground is wet with tons of puddles. Its like no storm hit.

I miss my Nokian! seems like hard to find Nokian in Toronto now!

[VorteC]

Wow.. there was some crazy freezing rain or hail this morning!! The trees on my property, the branches are all over the ground now! I had no power from 4am till 11am... no phone, no heating! DAMN! And I couldn't open my garage door this morning cuz it was electric.. couldn't manually pull it either because the hook was over the TSX! BAH HUMBUG

They increased prices this year by 20%, many have stopped selling them.

Your in North York too, right? Yea, trees were covered with ice and the weight had brought them down onto my lawn as well.

I took this photo this morning, looks kinda eerie.
