The snowstorm has caused widespread disruption across the city. Toronto’s transit service, the TTC, described Friday as a “busy morning” as they work to recover from the heavy snowfall. Officials acknowledged that snow operations take time to complete effectively.
Weather Forecast and Snow Accumulation
Weather forecasts predict the arrival of a new weather system on Friday. Residents should expect:
- Up to 5 centimeters of snow accumulation.
- Ongoing transit challenges due to continued snowfall.
Transportation Updates
In addition to the snow, a VIA Rail train collided with a snowplow near Scarborough. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported in this incident.
School Closures and Community Response
The storm forced many schools in the GTA to close. Students took advantage of the snow day, engaging in winter activities around the city. City officials are working to ensure a smooth recovery as they clear roads and pathways for residents.
Toronto’s snow response plans are in action as crews work diligently to manage the aftermath of both the major storm and the anticipated additional snowfall on Friday.
