Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Plane problems: Workers scrape the ice off a gigantic wing of a CP Air Jumbo 747 at Pearson International Airport as wet and blowing snow and equipment failure halted all flights for more than four hours yesterday. Most major airlines didn't operate until late afternoon when a full in the storm allowed crews to catch up on snow removal from the runways. And thousands of stranded air travellers can expect more delays and cancellations today as airlines scramble to sort out the mess.
