It was probably a bit colder in Toronto than some other places. Snow & ice are much more slippery when the temperature is near freezing than when it is way below freezing. At, say, 10 below zero, ice isn't particularly slippery compared to wet pavement in summer. But at 30 above zero, you can't even stand on the stuff, much less drive on it.
