  • Clearing the way for the TTC. Its big brush spinning; this TTC sweeper clears a path through Fleet St. snow for following streetcars. All available equipment is in action and service is at a nearly-normal level. Motorists are not so lucky; as wind and snow have combined to make this one of the worst driving days of the winter. Toronto got only four inches of snow; but drifts piled high.
