"Mayor Olivia Chow said even though plowing is well underway in the aftermath of Sunday's storm that dumped up to 60 centimetres of snow in some parts of the Greater Toronto Area, snow removal will take a while, especially on narrow residential streets where some people may still be struggling to get out of their driveways. "I want to thank everyone for their patience," she said at a news conference Monday afternoon. "Tomorrow's commute will be better than today's.""
"Toronto city manager Paul Johnson said plowing will continue until enough space is opened up on both arterial and local roads, after which crews will focus on "major scale" snow removal. "It does take us some time to get there because we have to get through the plowing before we can get to that large scale operation," he told reporters. Environment Canada said Pearson International Airport saw the highest daily total snowfall on record with 46 centimetres on Sunday."
Plowing is underway across the Greater Toronto Area after a storm dumped up to 60 centimetres of snow, but full snow removal will take several days, particularly on narrow residential streets where residents may still struggle to leave driveways. City crews will continue plowing until arterial and local roads have enough space, then shift to large-scale removal operations. Pearson International Airport recorded a daily total of 46 centimetres, making this January and the month the snowiest since 1937 at 88.2 centimetres. Schools were closed for a snow day, commuters faced severe transit delays, and a 40 percent chance of flurries persists through Friday.
