Toronto got absolutely slammed by a
combination of a potent snowstorm, plus unusual, intense lake-effect
snow off of Lake Ontario to produce a single-day snowfall record.
The most snow to ever fall in the city in a single day. Some
parts of the Greater Toronto Area received over 60cm of snow.
Hundreds of flights were canceled, schools and businesses closed,
and city came to a standstill. My house was in the hardest hit
area. I wish I had been there in person for it, but I was away
in the sunny Caribbean.
The warning from Environment
Canada, calling for up to 60cm of snow in some places.
My neighborhood in the east
end of Toronto was one of the places hardest hit. That's my car
under there, somewhere.
My driveway, completely impassable.
The side door was completely
blocked by snow.
60cm measured in the back yard.
There's no place to put it
all.
Almost unbelievable amounts
of snow.
And not just snow... Absolutely
frigid temperatures, too.
