Record-breaking snowfall blankets Toronto, shattering decades-old records
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.

Jack Black recalls his embarrassing job before acting
Jack Black reflected on the time when he was not an actor and was pushing through one day at a time.
A Minecraft Movie star made an embarrassing confession about his life before coming in limelight.
Sitting down with his Anaconda co-star Paul Rudd on Rotten Tomatoes, they interviewed each other, where Paul asked him about if he had any jobs before acting.
“Oh my God, this is a shameful answer. I never had a job,” Black said.
Black then recalled one job that he briefly held: “I did one day of telemarketing and I didn’t make one sale, and I was like, ‘I can already tell my soul is being sucked.’ And I bailed, and I made a decision right then and there.”
“It was like, ‘It’s showbiz or bust. I’m going all in on acting or music, and if I can’t do it I’ll just live at my mom’s,’ ” he said. “I know that just sounds [weird]. I had no plan B, no backup.”
Anaconda stars Black and Rudd alongside Steve Zahn and Thandiwe Newton as a group of amateur filmmakers traveling to the Amazon jungle to reboot the original movie.
Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube, who co-starred in the original 1997 movie, also made surprise cameos in the film.
Anaconda is now running in cinemas.
