Based on the service alerts there has been 2 cancelled trips on the LRT tonight but those happened right around the heaviest snow so it appears that it's held up so far. Not having any freezing rain has certainly helped.
If you look at TransSee.ca

You can see that it was the same tram, the light blue line that starts going horizontally instead of diagonally upwards and ending at Fairway station in time to leave
If you click on that line to view the trip path you can see the one that should have left Conestoga Station at 7:55pm went to the barn, and then went back out to be the 9:40pm tram leaving Conestoga and was 5 minutes late doing so.
That seems like some weird failure that was fixed, but who knows why they didn't send out a replacement tram from the barn to start a R&T Park instead of having that 30 minute gap in there.
That decision is kinda tone-deaf after the clear community anger at a suggested reduction to 30-minute evening service.
