Original Toronto Star caption: The shape of things to come; Cars and trucks with their lights ablaze drive through snow on the Queen Elizabeth Way as blinding fall hit Metro today. The forecast is for four to five inches in Southern Ontario; with the prediction for tomorrow sunny. All in all; it should be a real mess; said a forecaster of the Metro prospects for today and Friday.
