Overnight temps dropped to one degree below zero Celsius in the city, catching everyone off guard with that unseasonal chill. Services stayed down for about two hours while crews cleared the ice. Riders spaced delays throughout the day, but lowly and buses stepped in by accepting tram tickets to keep folks moving.
