Original Toronto Star caption: All together now! Passengers push a stalled TTC trolley bus out of a snowdrift at Bay and Harbor Sts. in a scene repeated many times in Metro yesterday. Hundreds of cars were also abandoned and hauled away until towing companies gave up in mid-afternoon and stopped taking calls. But relief is in sight - temperatures expected to rise later in the week.
