    If looks could kill: A fuming motorist, battery booster cables in hand, stands beside his car stalled on Leslie Street at Sheppard Avenue, Toronto, Ontario in yesterday's storm, waiting and hoping that somebody will come to his aid. The storm battered Metro with snow, sleet and howling winds, turning streets into a sea of sludge.
