Toronto residents can expect to see the first snowfall of the season this week, according to meteorologists.
After weeks of mild temperatures, the city is finally bracing for the arrival of winter weather. The first snowfall is expected to begin on Wednesday evening and continue into Thursday morning.
Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for Toronto and the surrounding areas, warning of potential snowfall accumulations of 5 to 10 centimeters. The snow is expected to be accompanied by strong winds, creating hazardous driving conditions.
This early snowfall is not uncommon for Toronto, as the city typically sees its first snow in mid-November. However, this year’s snowfall is arriving slightly earlier than usual, with the average first snowfall date being November 17th.
Residents are advised to take precautions and prepare for the winter weather. This includes ensuring that vehicles are equipped with winter tires and that sidewalks and driveways are properly cleared to prevent slips and falls.
The City of Toronto has also activated its winter operations, with salt trucks and plows ready to hit the streets to keep roads clear and safe for commuters.
While the snow may cause some inconvenience, it also brings a sense of excitement and anticipation for the holiday season. Many Torontonians are looking forward to the picturesque winter wonderland that the city transforms into during this time of year.
So, bundle up and get ready for the first snowfall of the season. And remember to stay safe and enjoy the beauty of winter in Toronto.
