Original Toronto Star caption: Slushing home. Snow; snow go away. Come again some other day . . . and especially not to Leslie St. at rush hour. At least the motorists had warm cars. Yesterday's snow storm did nothing so nice for Constable John Watson who was trying to smooth the traffic flow from offices north of Eglington Ave. All he got for his pains was slush down the back of his neck.

If looks could kill: A fuming motorist, battery booster cables in hand, stands beside his car stalled on Leslie Street at Sheppard Avenue, Toronto, Ontario in yesterday's storm, waiting and hoping that somebody will come to his aid. The storm battered Metro with snow, sleet and howling winds, turning streets into a sea of sludge.
