Environment Canada reported that 16 cm of snow had fallen midtown Toronto by Wednesday night.
The two Toronto school boards are cancelling buses today due to the ongoing cleanup from yesterday’s snowstorm.
The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) announced Thursday morning that they’re cancelling buses but schools will remain open.
“As a result of the continued cleanup — particularly on side streets — following yesterday’s snowfall and the resulting delays, all school buses are cancelled today, however, all schools remain open,” the TDSB tweeted.
The TDSB and Peel District School Board also tweeted that for those students writing exams today, schools will accommodate students who experienced delays getting to school.
“Please contact your school for further information,” they said.
Peel’s District School Board also cancelled all buses in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon due to the cleanup.
Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board cancelled buses and closed schools, but schools at Hamilton’s Catholic board remained open.
The snowstorm yesterday caused havoc across the GTA’s roads, with at least 40 accidents reported on the region’s highways. Pearson airport cancelled more than 25 per cent of flights and the TTC took 41 bus stops out of operation due to the storm.
By 10:30 p.m., Environment Canada reported that 16 cm of snow had fallen midtown and about 12 centimetres of snow had fallen at Pearson Airport.
Vincent Sferrazza, a city transportation services director, held a press conference on Thursday morning saying the city is going making their way through the side streets and local roads and plowing the front of driveways.
“We’re going to continue salting and spot plowing,” he said.
Much of southern Ontario is cleaning up the storm, while snow remains in the forecast for parts of eastern Ontario.
Ottawa and much of eastern Ontario remains under snowfall warnings Thursday, with most regions expected to be digging out from under as much as 20 centimetres of snow by the time the storm ends later in the afternoon. .
