Ford,
Check the weather for Barrie, Bracebridge, and Huntsville, whatever day you're planning to head North.
I was up at Axiom last weekend doing some listening tests and an overnight blizzard buried my car in 3-ft drifts. "Chunk", one of the Axiom guys, literally lifted the front of my aging CRX out of the snowbank and sent me on my way.
I drove down on Sunday in blowing snow to Barrie, then it cleared up and was sunny all the way.
Sorry to hear about the huge pothole. I once hit one leaving New York, and I'm sure it broke my front right spring. There was a terrible thud, but no misalignment, tire damage or other symptoms. A mechanic later pointed out the broken spring.
Good luck on the next trip.
Regards,
Alan
