It could take several days to dig out from a major winter storm that has already closed schools across the GTA and upended holiday travel plans for some Torontonians.
Mayor John Tory delivered the warning during a news conference at city hall on Friday, noting that because of the rain that pelted the city overnight crews have been unable to treat roads with salt as they ordinarily would ahead of a major snow event.
Environment Canada says that Toronto will receive five to 15 centimetres of total snowfall accumulation between Friday and Saturday morning. There is also sufficient staff on standby to operate all 1,100 pieces of snow removal equipment in the city’s fleet simultaneously, if necessary.
