Toronto residents woke up on Monday, November 11, to a winter-like landscape that was unseasonal following a major snowstorm that had shattered two weather records that had been long held about early November.

The city was hit with 9.8 centimeters of snow on Sunday, November 9 and more snow followed overnight.

As reported by Environment Canada, this was the heaviest November 9 in 54 years, breaking the record of 1.5 centimeters in 1971.

Moreover, the total amount of snow in the two days of the storm is the most significant amount of snow that Toronto had experienced at the beginning of the season since October 1981.

“A very rare event for this much snow to fall this early in the Toronto area,” said Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson.

He explained that it is not unheard of that there was light snow earlier on in November but the quantity of snow on this particular date was the first to be experienced in Pearson International Airport, the city weather station.

The disruptive storm was experienced throughout the area with Hamilton getting 17 cm and Ottawa getting 12 cm.

Ontario Provincial Police is reported to have attended to more than 200 crashes all over the Greater Toronto Area due to the slick conditions.

The City of Toronto responded by sending out salt brine and salting activities on priority routes.

Although early in the week or early in the season the temperatures will not be able to rise beyond the seasonal average of 8°C, the early sign of winter will actually be relieved by the middle of the week, and temperatures will revert to a more moderate range on Wednesday, November 12.

Intel Corporation has filed a $250,000 lawsuit against a former software engineer who allegedly downloaded around 18,000 confidential files labeled “Intel Top Secret,” and disappeared subsequently.

The case is a prime example of the data security risks linked with corporate layoffs.

The lawsuit reported that Jinfeng Luo, an employee since 2014 was terminated in July 2025.

In the days leading to his departure, Luo allegedly made various attempts to transfer vast amounts of data.

Initially, he failed to copy files to an external drive that was blocked by company security, he successfully transferred data to a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device three days before his final day.

He then spent his remaining time at Intel downloading a treasure trove of confidential company assets.

Within no time, the company detected the data breach shortly after he transferred data. The lawsuit stated that the company made several attempts in the past three months to contact Luo via calls, emails, and letters.

But there is no response from his side. This prompts legal action to recover the company’s stolen property.

“Luo has refused to even engage with Intel,” the lawsuit states, “let alone return the files.”

The incident occurred amidst a massive, ongoing reduction-in-force at Intel, which has observed 35,000 jobs cut in recent years.

The company has a history of pursuing legal action against ex-employees for data theft; another former engineer was recently sentenced to probation and a fine for stealing data to allegedly secure a job at Microsoft.

Intel is now seeking $250,000 in damages and the return of all stolen information from Luo, whose current whereabouts remain unknown. 

A new title getting aligned with Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, and his name is set to be changed once more, according to Express UK.

This update comes a few days after he was stripped of his title of prince, alongside his dukedom and military honors, and came to be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

This change is coming in light of an old order by Queen Elizabeth II for all “descendants other than descendants enjoying the style, title or attribute of Royal Highness and the titular dignity of Prince or Princess and female descendants who marry and their descendants”.

The change in question will be added between the names Mountbatten and Windsor, which was back in the 1960’s to incorporate Prince Philip’s name ‘Mountbatton’ into the ‘Windsor’ line.

Known from that point on as the line of Mountbatten-Windsor, the Queen had shared the news in a formal notice to The London Gazette and it read, “Now therefore I declare My Will and Pleasure that, while I and My children shall continue to be styled and known as the House and Family of Windsor”.

This would include “My descendants other than descendants enjoying the style, title or attribute of Royal Highness and the titular dignity of Prince or Princess and female descendants who marry and their descendants shall bear the name of Mountbatten-Windsor.”
