About 118 people have been rescued from a snow-swept Ontario highway that, at one point, was clogged with more than 360 stranded motorists, according to the latest information from the Ontario Provincial Police.

Despite the hundreds who spent up to 24 hours in cars and trucks paralyzed on Highway 402, there were no reports of injuries, said Ontario Community Safety Minister Jim Bradley. OPP Constable Liz Melvin said 37 of the stranded motorists were airlifted and 81 were rescued by ground.

Using snowmobiles and 4X4s, police roared onto the highway between Sarnia and Strathroy around 10:40 a.m. to start picking up hungry and tired motorists, Ontario Provincial Police Const. Dennis Harwood said.

They had a C-130 out of Trenton circling the area. And this morning had 2 Griffon's with SAR crews standing by at Sarnia airport waiting for the go.

While reading this I was wondering if they would have conscripted some snow cats from any hills near by.

They're never right! Backyard thermometer speaks truth….that's probably warm, considering it's close to the house….I hope it doesn't cover everything up, I need another ride!

No, the weather network says that it's 4C and raining at Vancouver Airport.

There is no weather plot in North Van. When you look at the weather page for North Vancouver, the current weather section shows: "Current Weather Updated: Tues, Dec. 14, 2010, 14:00 PST - Vancouver Airport"

the forecast is adapted for North Van and is usually a bit different compared to Vancouver, but the current weather is the same as for Vancouver.

Good to hear they're OK. Finally got ahold of my parents, all good.

Snowed heavily for about 30 minutes at my place, but it's since turned back to rain. Likely snowing big time in the local mountains.

Snowing like crazy atop bby mtn.
