Special weather statement ends for Toronto after snowy day

Snow arrived in Toronto and the GTA on Thursday afternoon, impacting the evening commute home.

Earlier in the day, Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for the snow. Toronto, Halton-Peel, York-Durham and Hamilton were all covered by the statement, which ended just before 10 p.m.

Police said weather was a factor when a GO bus dinged a guardrail on Highway 407 at Yonge Street. The driver suffered minor injuries but no passengers were hurt.

The last time the city saw a significant snowfall was on Dec. 11.

In January of 2014, the region had about three times the amount of snow, according to 680News meteorologist Jill Taylor.

“We really haven’t had a whole lot of snow this month, although 10.8 centimetres has managed to fall at Toronto Pearson. Just a couple of centimetres at times, and that’s about it.”
