Winter weather advisories in effect for parts of GTA as clean-up after back-to-back storms continues
A winter weather travel advisory remains in effect for parts of the Greater Toronto Area but it is no longer in place for the city itself.
Environment Canada lifted the winter weather travel advisory for Toronto on Tuesday evening.
A winter weather travel advisory remains in effect for Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham. Environment Canada said these areas could see five more centimetres of snow as well as poor visibility at times due to gusty winds and blowing snow.
Newmarket, Georgina and northern York Region as well as Oshawa, Pickering and southern Durham Region are under a snow squall warning, with the federal weather agency saying there could be “near-zero visibility” in heavy and blowing snow.
The areas could see five to 10 centimetres of snow on top of what has already fallen, Environment Canada said at about 7:30 p.m.
“Snow squalls cause weather conditions to vary considerably; changes from clear skies to heavy snow within just a few kilometres are common. Travel is expected to be hazardous due to reduced visibility,” the warning said.
Tuesday’s forecast for Toronto called for a high of -6 C, with wind gusts of up to 50 km/h. There’s a 30 per cent chance of flurries early this evening and overnight, as well as local blowing snow, Environment Canada says.
The temperature is set to fall to -15 C by the evening with wind chill values of -21 overnight.
Clearing city streets could take weeks
Between 16 and 23 centimetres of snow fell across Toronto over the weekend, which was in addition to 15 to 20 centimetres that fell last Wednesday, the city said in a news release on Monday.
An update from the city sent just after 6 p.m. Tuesday said crews had completed multiple rounds of snow clearing on roads, sidewalks and TTC infrastructure.
But removing all that snow from the city could take up to three weeks, the release said.
That’s because city crews can only push the snow so far before it has to be loaded into trucks and transported to the city’s designated storage sites, said Toronto city manager Paul Johnson. That work is set to begin Wednesday.
“Plows moving down the street go at a relatively decent pace. If you’ve got a load snow onto the back of a of a of a truck and then take it somewhere for storage, it takes much longer,” he said during an interview with CBC Radio’s Metro Morning guest host Jill Dempsey
“So it will take some time for us to get through all of that.”
Over the last five days, the city has received close to 6,600 snow-related inquiries through 311, while also initiating 6793 snow-related service requests, a City of Toronto spokesperson said.
City of Toronto officials said on Monday it’ll be weeks before crews are able to fully remove all the snow after back-to-back snowstorms blanketed much of the region. They’re also warning drivers not to park in certain areas or risk getting ticketed.
Diko Nahabedian, who owns Mr. Plow King, a residential snow removal service, said the demand for his business has been “overwhelming” over the last few days. But figuring out where to put all that snow is challenging, he said.
“We can’t make the snow disappear but we’re doing our best to tuck it into corners and be as clever as we can,” he said.
The city will remove snow on a priority basis, beginning with locations such as main street sidewalks, pedestrian signals, transit stops and hospital and emergency service stations.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the city’s major snowstorm condition and significant weather event declarations remain in effect in Toronto, which means parking continues to be banned on snow routes and all streetcar routes.
