The first winter storm, is always the worst. It doesn’t matter how much snow falls, the city always comes to a stop. Yesterday it rained all day until about about 10 pm, when it turned to ice. Early this morning, it turned to snow around 6 am, just in time for rush hour. As you can tell from the shot above, traffic was at a standstill. That’s probably a good thing, as it’s hard to crash when you’re parked! I made it from Whitby to Scarborough, a grand total of 28 kilometers in an hour and 40 minutes.

Given that I still had another 20 kilometers of parked cars to pass before reaching work, so I decided to turn around and come home. I can be much more productive here in front of the laptop than I can sitting in traffic. The scene coming home was much different.
