Much of southern Ontario is digging out after a significant winter storm dropped up to 30 centimetres worth of snow in under 16 hours.
“In the last 10 days, we have had almost a half a winter's worth of snow,” Dave Phillips, Senior Climatologist for Environment Canada, told CP24.
The lightshow—an unusual event called ‘thundersnow’—occurs when an air mass becomes so unstable that it turns violent. It is most common in the Great Lakes region, according to the Farmer’s Almanac, but tends to be rare.“It's a good old fashioned thunderstorm and you often, because of the atmospheric conditions, get more snow from that kind of event then just from a storm that might move through southern Ontario.
Hundreds of flights departing and arriving into Toronto Pearson International Airport have been cancelled as a result of the storm. “Passengers should be aware that further delays and cancellations are possible as we all work through the impacts of this major winter storm.”
