Honestly its all luck flying in the winter. Like I said, most flights take off and land on time when its snowing. The snow isn't as much of a problem (unless of course its heavy snow) as visibility is.
Haha it probably would. My wife and I go to Florida every winter, and this winter out of all of them has been very cold over there. They shut down US1 due to ice. It wasn't so funny then, but now we look back and laugh about it.
I work in the hospital (radiology) and every time there's even a little rain here in San Diego we know it will be a busy day/night because of car accidents. Others here always think it's ridiculous but we just don't get any practice driving on wet roads!
I knew it was all luck but it sounds like at least YYZ has a good plan in place (read an article about them having the most snow clearing bulldozer type things in North America). I'll still prefer a direct flight out of LAX but barring any good award ticket availability opening up I guess we'll be visiting Toronto for at least a few hours, hopefully not too much more! (this time). Last time we were in Vancouver/Whistler we did meet some nice people from Toronto and definitely will try to make a more extended visit at some point, probably not in the winter though.
