It's like that everytime we get snow in VA. It's frustrating. Everytime it snows here everyone acts like it's the first damn time they've ever seen the stuff. Traffic backs up, cars and trucks slide into ditches, and there's general pandamonium. It's ridiculous.A 2 hour delay for 3" of snow? Why so long of a delay? Long trip?
Ok, may be Toronto cannot be counted as the GWN then? Manitobans and Albertans deal with this better?

No Toronto can not be counted as the Great White North............sorry. And probably a good majority of the people currently in Toronto now, are probably from places where snow does not exist.

Spent a good part of Tuesday afternoon shoveling the driveway and the walk, and a kind neighbor with a large snowblower was going up and down the street to help everyone with the plow piles.
Then it rained a bit Tuesday night, and it's been cold ever since, and now the snow is hard a concrete - you could easily break a window if you threw some of this stuff around. I'm very glad I got everything done, because I'd need a pickaxe if I had to clear anything out right now.
