Tom Dube of the Oak Ridges branch of the Ontario Provincial Police. In the meantime, trying to cope with it, as it blocked roads and sidewalks, cancelled meetings and contributed to a total of 38 accidents at press time were the police, snow crews from the various regional works‘ departments, to say nothing of private citizens, who shovelled walkways, and even directed traffic and pushed motorists up steep inclines in some places.

An estimated 10 to 15 centimetres of snow â€" approximately six inches â€" made even more abundant by winds up to 60 kilometres â€" 37 miles an hour â€" fell in the area, starting at noon, con- tinuing all night, and into yesterday.

Describing the situation as “terrible,” a spokesman for the works’ department, said that some of the work crew members hadn’t even got home. “And we still haven’t touched some of the roads." he said. In Richmond Hill, 11 sanders, followed later by snow plows and graders worked from 4:30 pm. on an all-out assault to see that roads and sidewalks were passable by noon the next day. While the Town of Richmond Hill was nearly back to normal at noon yesterday, the Town of Vaughan, especially in the Woodbridge area, was still trying to make road ends meet.
