51 Division patrol snowstorm in Garden District

Officers brave the blizzard on Yonge St.

On the eve of the biggest, record-breaking snowstorm of the year, officers from 51 division were out patrolling Yonge St. in the Garden District Feb. 6.

They were out on their regular foot patrols to keep things running and safe.

Traffic was moving slowly and Carlton streetcars took longer than usual, some riders waiting 20-30 minutes.

Other than that, police reported not much out of the ordinary – just lots and lots of snow.

Even Wellesley St. resident Ben Meaghan considered it a nice enough evening to go out on his unicycle:  “It’s the best time to do it — it’s lots of fun.”
