Default Drove from Thornhill to Pearson in 40 minutes. Already sitting in the Air Canada lounge on wireless
Surprisingly no flight delays.

Default To start... lots of snow on my backroad...
someone with a tractor and a plow had done one pass down the road (going to clean someone's driveway out), and on the way, moved the tree that had fallen on the road.

Quick drive on a county road (6km) that wasn't plowed. Then 30km of Hwy 7... everything from not plowed to bare pavement. People doing 50-60.

Slow in town.

Did a nice drift leaving the Tim Hortons parking lot.

25-30 minute drive was a 35-40 minute drive.

Only if you're flying south. They're mostly cancelled if you're going where the storm is.

Surprisingly smooth. Got to work by 7. Even had time to do a few donuts in the parking lot.

Default Was fine
Drive was fine, albeit it took almost twice as long to get in as I got out late this morning.

TTC bus stuck on Esna with the backend in the snowbank and at an angle blocking a lane and a half. Looks like a snowplow went around the bus making things even worse for the bus! Some asian guy with a black TT also stuck in the right on Esna near Denison, guess he tried to pass some traffic and ended up being a plow and beaching himself but got out eventually.

Did see that the front tires would spin on the TT, then shortly after the rear would kick in and it was very noticeable seeing the torque being shifted back and forth.
