Toronto this morning

·

It didn't look too bad from the 28th floor of the hilton, but traffic out of toronto was creeping along. I was on the QEW for a while doing an okay speed when I hit a patch of ice, flew across the grassy median ditch and landed facing oncoming traffic on the other side. Fucking crazy. Someone else did a 180 right behind me and a little farther a couple tractor trailers were jackknifed and cars were just all over the place. I made it back okay, 2.75 hr trip.

    I am so glad you are okay! That was a close call. Yesterday was really horrible. They spent an hour de-icing the plane on the tarmac. I can only imagine the levels on the ice on the highway!

    That is so scary. One time that happened to me by the Galleria and the car went down into the creek part. Luckily it was frozen. I may have been texting.

    It was really scary... I wasn't texting or doing anything distracting, just driving. I wish I had taken a pic of the tiremarks across the median and the other car behind me. An ambulance cruised by and checked on me, and then I did a u-turn and followed it to the next exit so I could get back on the QEW in the correct direction, and watched it fishtail the whole time. :-p
