Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Right of way: A taxi shops to let Stratford resident Cathy Holland; 19; pass by on skis - the best way to get around in the worst snow-storm in years. Area roads were closed and the southwestern Ontario city was isolated for more than 40 hours by accidents and whiteouts that began Saturday night. Almost two feet of snow - whipped up into drifts by high winds - isolated many small cities and towns.
