Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Can winter be far behind? Get out the snow tires, windshield scrapers and wiper de-icing fluid. That white stuff was the season's first snowfall. Claude Thibault emphasizes the point with his windshield message as he works at Unionville Motors on Highway 7 today. The forecaster says there may be a few flurries tomorrow, but it will be mainly sunny and cool in southern Ontario, so don't wax up your skis yet.
