So far it's only buses having major issues, particularly on hills. One dicey situation at a station where two buses had to be winched because they couldn't keep moving without sliding into each other, and lots of other similar rescues. A newer ION operator called in to ask if it was normal to encounter "significant resistance" in snowy conditions, and another one called in to say it's normal because of snow building up around the tracks. Plows are apparently leaving 2 foot high snow banks at King and Northfield, but the trains don't have a problem getting through.
