Thanks rKo.
But, in Toronto we generally do not face any probs. Even during the peak winters (Jan-Feb-Mar) it usually gets Blizzards just twice a month; once probably in Dec & Apr too. The first one is expected around 20th Dec.

Hi qorax!

Congrats on having first snow in toronto. Enjoy and make the most of it. Wish you have many more but they don't make life miserable

Uhh yes, wxyz123... It's beautiful here.

So during snowfall were there any traffic jams? I could just imagine how difficult it would be for the people without transport to reach thier work places?

Hi eemmooo1,

Usually Toronto is free of T/Jams 'coz of snowfalls. Yes, during the Blizzards sometimes there could be a few incidences along the 4 series highways... But, that'd be nothing special/unique - as against what it generally gets on 401 most of the time, especially during weekends & on long-weekends (when it's wise to avoid that road altogether).

It's snowing (flurries) today to. But, there's precipitation now... I can see the next house's roof having white patches today.

How cold, or what the temperature is, I'm yet to know, till I step outside.

It's 8AM in the morning now.

Wow, the snow sounds amazing! It's so good of you to share the news with us.Usually the people who go through forget about those who are still struggling!

PPL waiting to watch these, Good Luck.

I am in Kitchener, which is 100 KM from toronto. It snowed here too, not just flurries, but a bit more, to make the entire city look white! Its nice. Splendid. Just that I have to start wearing 2-3 layers of clothes every day.

BREAKING NEWS
Yes, it SNOWED IN TORONTO today...

We were expecting snow fall today (as the weatherman predicted a week+ back) - and it did !
-Time Started : ...... 07:25 AM
-Time Stopped : .... 12:40 PM
-GTA Temperature : -1.5C
-Daylight : ........... Bright & Sunny (No Overcast)
-Chill Factor : ........ Moderate (nothing special)
-Precipitation : ...... Nil
-Type of Fall : ....... Flurries (Flakes only)

This being the first snowfall of the season, in Toronto (Alberta & higher locales already had their share), we decided to have a drive-around & get a feel of it... our first feel after being a PR.

Thus, drove thru Dundas - Gardiner - Spadina - Yonge - North York - 401 - 403 - Hurontario (Mississauga) - Erin Mills - Mc Laughlin - Brampton - 409 - 427 - Lunch at Woodbine Mall - back.

-On many occassions we had to use our wiper/s.
-Nothing visibly observed differently on the roads.
-Overall it was a nice feeling...

Note that it was -(minus) already, but we didn't feel anything. In fact, we were in our normal clothing - sporting just a jacket over jeans. Heat was on in the car & so was inside the Mall. But, the walk - from parking to the mall - wasn't challenging...

But, it definitely would be, later, when the snow picks-up!
