You would be right about the traffic, but it doesn't take much of a hill to make winter driving interesting. The Credit River Valley runs right up the centre of Toronto. The Don Valley Parkway runs along it and all of the roads that feed it come down from ridges above it. Every seen a cop TV show called "The Bridge"? The bridge of the title is generally shown from along the DVP or Bayview Avenue. It's called the Bloor Viaduct.

Real true story: Adirondack Park in upstate NY is bigger than Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Canyon and the Great Smokies National Parks combined.
When I said "we" I meant those of who reside on the glacier poop (Long Island).
My wife did her geology field camps upstate as well.

I live at the base of the Adirondacks.

Good one, and very true. But shouldn't it be "Lone Giland".

Our snomageddon turned into a slushpocalypse. At 11:00pm yesterday I looked out the window and thought that I'd be off from work. Looked out again this morning and saw 4 inches of slush in the parking lot.

Poo.

Our shit's been melting, temps in the low-mid 30's. I had to dig out the storm drains so all the water could drain, street was flooded and the city's too damn lazy to do it.
