Snowplow amateur hour

I was very late in to work this morning, partly because I had an appointment with my dentist, and partly because it was amateur hour for snow plow operators on highway 401 today. We had a moderate snowfall last night and into this morning, somewhere in the 10-15cm range, which wouldn't be too much trouble on its own. What was a problem today was the ineptitude or maliciousness of one or more snow plow operators on the stretch of the 401 from the 404/DVP interchange to at least Yonge Street.

The driver in question had managed to create nigh-on impenetrable ice-walls across the on- and off-ramps for Leslie Street and Bayview Avenue. It was so bad that drivers were up on top of these temporary ramparts trying to shovel their way through using snow brushes and ice scrapers!
