Toronto got more snow in the last week than it did all last winter, says climatologist, but relief may be on way with ‘warmer than normal’ March Environment Canada Climatologist Dave Phillips says this past snow storm accumulated the same amount of snow Toronto received all of last winter.
“And when you get back-to-back-to-back kind of dumps of snow, this is quite, obviously, quite impactful. I’m sure that there are many areas in Toronto you’ve got a half a metre of snow sitting on the ground.”The long-time weather forecaster said 71 centimetres of snow has fallen so far in February in the Toronto area.
He added that while the last time Toronto saw a similar snowfall was in January 2022, the year he remembers most is 1999, when then-mayor Mel Lastman called in the army after Toronto received a major dump of snow.Cars are buried in Toronto's east end after two snowstorms last week.
