Original Toronto Star caption: The better way: Anne Larson found skiing was the only way to travel on South Dr. last night following a snowstorm that turned Metro roads into a slushy mess; causing countless fender-benders and multiple-car pile-ups. Road crews worked through the night cleaning up. Forecast calls for a mild New Year's eve.
