Default Snowstorm in Toronto

Just wondering how everyone managed with the mess we had today? My GS got stuck when I was trying to enter a driveway that wasn't cleared yet, so I tried to go in backwards and had the same problem... I felt like a loser as everyone drove by me! lol

Other than my normal 20 minute drive taking 2 1/4 hours I didn't have much issue. Riding on Dunlop All Seasons. I saw a few cars (g35, 745, etc) not able to get up hills. I was nervous but made it up them with little problem.

It was fine for me ,still took 20 minutes to get from work to home 427/401 to Mississauga road.
Had 3/4 tank of gas pressing my snows down and passed stupid drivers all the way home laughing at what the hell they were even given a license for.

When I was driving to school this morning it felt like the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" with all the traffic lights being out, the snow all melting and the flooded streets!

^^Lol, I had the same feeling.
Though I didn't drive yesterday, I had to wait TWO HOURS for a VIVA bus... it was ridiculous..

I've got a 91 LS400 up here in Sudbury and we got buried today. My Trac is off due to the O2 sensor deal. Just wondering how much of a difference the Trac system makes in the snow. I have all seasons on and its OK in the snow.
