WEATHER: Toronto declares 'major snowstorm condition' as southern Ontario digs out after winter storm
The City of Toronto has declared a “major snowstorm condition” prohibiting parking on certain roads as much of southern Ontario digs out of the up to 30 centimetres worth of snow that fell in under 16 hours.
“We anticipate that snow removal won't begin until Monday evening after plowing operations have concluded.” A major snowstorm condition can be cancelled sooner than 72 hours, although city officials say it will likely be extended due to the amount of snow that fell on the Greater Toronto Area.The storm struck around 6 p.m. on Friday night, causing power outages as well as thunder and lightening across much of Ontario.
The flurries finally tapered off mid-Saturday morning. Crews in Toronto are still ploughing the roadways, with officials saying some service requests for snow clean-up have been temporarily suspended online.Vincent Sferrazza, director of operations and maintenance of transportation for the City of Toronto, told reporters Saturday that it’s “all hands on deck” to clear the snow.
Officials said the conditions at the airport are improving but the snow is heavy and high winds are making snow clearing difficult.
