Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Braving the elements: The worst snowstorm in years swept into the Metro area last night; creating chaos on the roads and a bone-chilling reminder for Torontonains - like these two women on lower Bay St. - that winter is still with us; despite the almost balmy temperatures of the past week.
