'Snowboob' Causes 100-Car Pileup Outside of Toronto

A swiftly moving, blinding snow squall moved across parts of frigid Toronto this morning, causing several multi-vehicle pileups, including one involving upwards of 100 cars. The video of the event shows a towering wall of snow, similar to a haboob, which is a type of dust storm that was first identified in the Middle East but also occurs in the Southwest U.S
