Toronto digs itself out after largest snowfall in city’s history

Toronto is digging out from a record-breaking snowfall in January, the largest since 1937, with over 88cm recorded at Pearson Airport. The storm, part of a larger system affecting North America, caused widespread disruption, including over 500 flight cancellations, school closures, and transit delays. More than 430 collisions occurred in Toronto, with another 200 in surrounding areas, including one fatality. City officials are prioritizing clearing main roadways, but expect it to take days to clear residential streets and sidewalks. While the storm caused significant challenges, some residents embraced the snow, skiing and sledding in the city. The location of Toronto along Lake Ontario contributed to the unexpectedly high snowfall totals.
