(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - February 5, 2014:  Toronto residents deal with significant snowfall.  A snowfall warning is in effect for the city, issued by Environment Canada when there is 10-15 cm or more of snow that falls within 12 hours or less.

School bus closure information

The snow, combined with roads already icy from last weekend's thaw and freeze, created difficult driving conditions and poor visibility.

Drivers who commute from the Niagara region and along the QEW reported a very slow drive. Some drivers told CBC it took two hours to travel from the Burlington/Oakville area to downtown.


The snow is making for slick conditions on the roads and some blowing and drifting snow and reduced visibility.

Snowfall warnings cover Ontario from the southwest all the way through to Kingston, including the entire Greater Toronto Area, as a snowstorm moves through the region


Forecasters say parts of southern Ontario are on track for a total of 15-20 cm of snow by the time all is said and done, with the GTA getting 10-15 cm depending on location.

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - December 22, 2013: DTN News reports about 350,000 customers across southern Ontario were without electricity after a massive weather system coated the landscape in ice, including about 250,000 in the Greater Toronto Area, where it could take up to three days to get everyone reconnected.

In the meantime, Toronto Hydro has asked those who have electricity service to "share the power" and consider inviting neighbours inside.

The City of Toronto has also opened a number of warming stations, which can be found at www.toronto.ca.

"All available resources have been deployed and crews are working as quickly as possible to restore power," said Toronto Hydro in a statement on Sunday.

The weather conditions have also resulted in scores of flight cancellations and delays at airports in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Fredericton, Saint John, Halifax and St. John’s.

Passengers are being advised to check their flights before heading to the airport. Find updates for Pearson International Airport here.

DTN News - WORLD OF TODAY: Major Winter Storm Blasts Toronto - February 8, 2013

DTN News - WORLD OF TODAY: Major Winter Storm Blasts Toronto - February 8, 2013

Source: DTN News 
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - February 8, 2013: DTN News reports a blast of winter weather slowed morning commuting throughout the Greater Toronto Area Friday morning and conditions are going to be worse for the journey home.

OPP are urging motorists to stay off the roads as a mammoth winter storm continues to batter the region. About 19 centimetres of snow has fallen at Pearson International Airport since Thursday night with another 2 to 5 centimetres still in the forecast. 

Heavy snow continues as a major winter storm currently centred over New York State affects the regions today. General total snowfall amounts of 20 to 30 centimetres are expected with snowfall rates of 2 to 4 cm per hour possible under the heaviest bands. Strong and gusty northeasterly winds are blowing the freshly fallen snow and resulting in very low visibility at times.

The snow has already begun to taper off over Southwestern Ontario and is expected to ease off over South Central Ontario this evening and Eastern Ontario near midnight.

Hazardous winter travelling conditions from near zero visibility, areas of heavy snow and local blowing snow are expected. Rapidly accumulating snow will also contribute to dangerous driving conditions. Travel plans should be changed accordingly.

The storm centre will move away tonight and merge with another winter storm forecast to affect parts of New England and the Maritimes.

Please refer to your local public forecast for further details.

DTN News: Snowstorm Paralyses Washington DC And Eastern US *WASHINGTON SNOWSTORMS *More than 1ft (12in, 30.5cm) of snow has fallen only 13 times since 1870 *Heaviest on record is 28in (71cm) in January 1922 *Worst snowfall is believed to have hit in 1772, before records began, with as much as 3ft *Source: DTN News / BBC (NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - February 7, 2010: The heaviest snow storms for decades have struck the eastern US, paralysing air and road transport, and bringing Washington DC to a standstill. The storm knocked down power lines and left hundreds of thousands of people without electricity. Nearly 2ft (60cm) of snow had fallen by noon on Saturday in cities across the region, the Associated Press reports. The governors of Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland have declared states of emergency. West Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are also affected. Jim Rohacik skies in front of the White House in Washington February 6, 2010. A blizzard producing heavy snow and powerful winds pummeled the U.S. mid-Atlantic on Saturday, causing at least two fatalities and paralyzing travel in the region. Local weather forecasters said the storm could bring the heaviest snowfall in 90 years to the Washington area. The National Weather Service declared a 24-hour blizzard warning for the Washington-Baltimore region until 2200 on Saturday (0300 GMT on Sunday). A police office guards a deserted street near the White House in Washington, Saturday, Feb. 6, 2010, as President Barack Obama's motorcade passed by. Most flights from the Washington-Baltimore area's three main airports and Philadelphia International Airport have been cancelled. Hundreds of car accidents were reported, including two fatalities - a father and son who died while helping another motorist in Virginia. US national rail service Amtrak cancelled a number of trains between New York and Washington, and also between Washington and some southern destinations. Local weather forecasters said the Washington area could see its heaviest snowfall in 90 years. It comes less than two months after a December storm dumped more than 16in (41cm) of snow in Washington. The usually traffic-heavy roads of the capital were deserted, while the city's famous sites and monuments were covered with snow. DC traditionally panics when it comes to snow - this time, it may be more justifiable than most times. Becky ShippResident of Arlington, Virginia The Washington Metro was operating only on underground lines, and bus services were cancelled. US government offices in the Washington area closed four hours early on Friday, while the Smithsonian museums and National Zoo were closed on Saturday. Debi Adkins, who lives just outside the city of Baltimore, told the BBC: "The snow started at 1130 yesterday morning and it just hasn't stopped... about 20 inches came overnight - and thunder and lightning. "I'm not going anywhere - I couldn't if I wanted to. You just can't get your cars out. The front door of the building I live in is closed shut, so I just can't get out." Ushaa Shyam Krishna in Chantilly, Virginia, said he - like many others - had stocked up on essential food items ahead of the storm. "For the first few hours after the storm began, my daughter and I tried to shovel the snow, but now we have given up," he said. "On Thursday the supermarkets were half empty - we went again yesterday and the shelves were totally empty."
