Original Toronto Star caption: Stranded by 20 inches of snow near London are these cars and transport trucks at a Highway 401 service centre south of Ingersoll. The snow fall was so heavy that the westbound lane of freeway was blocked off and east and westbound traffic was taking other routes. The closed section was reopened this morning.
