OPP says many drivers stranded on 401 for eight hours

Mayor Tory has said that it will take a week to return some semblance of winter-time normal to the City after Monday’s memorable snowfall. Anywhere from 18 inches to three feet of snow has been reported. OPP report that many drivers trapped on Highway 401 and other local roads spent as much as eight hours there. Toronto closed both the Don Valley Park and the Gardiner Expressway in order to let snowploughs finish their job. Schools remained closed and continue to be closed at least through Tuesday. The Toronto Star recalls that the storm of December 11, 1944, remains the record holder.
