Slithering and sliding; a car makes slow progress as it attempts to inch up the Bayview Ave. ramp off the Don Valley Parkway leading to Bloor St. during last night's fall of freezing rain and snow. The storm played havoc with rush hour traffic in Toronto between 5 and 7 pm.; but no serious accidents were reported. Traffic thinned out later in the evening as motorists chose to stay home rather than face the traffic hazards. On Highway 400; only one lane in each director was open at times and abandoned cars lined the edges of the Don Valley Parkway.

Mantle of snow blanketing these cars on a Yonge St. car lot gives them the appearance of having settled in for a long winter hibernation. Many Metro motorists would find this idea appealing after spending as much as six hours crawling home at the height of last night's slush hour. Many cars stalled and were abandoned on the streets. This added another element of risk for those driving. Police report that the accident rate was about twice the normal.

All-too typical of the side streets throughout Metro today is this scene on Albany St. with snowed-in cars along the curb and shoveling parties hard at work. Metro crews managed to keep most major thoroughfares drivable throughout the weekend storm but most side streets; many of them clogged with stalled cars; still present a problem to drivers. Officials say it will take until tomorrow at least before all residential streets can be plowed out. Downtown parking lots are another hazard to motorists as many of them are still unplowed today.
