Every Ion we saw was stuck, one a Market Station, one between Mill and Borden stations. Looking at the tracks, it looks like they'd be stuck for a while, being that the tracks were snow covered.

Were they actually stuck, or waiting for an obstruction further along the track to be cleared?

Snow on the tracks should not stop any kind of modern train.

They both were stuck. The one was stuck just before Courtland, they had a team outside the LRT trying shovelling around the train. The train at Market Station (southbound) just couldn't move, and the operator was standing there on a phone calling for help.

What was weird was seeing abandoned busses. This is something I have never witnessed.
