TORONTO – Second snowstorm in a few days in Toronto: after last Thursday’s one (25 centimeters of snow), another one arrived between Saturday and Sunday and literally “blanketed” Toronto under a soft and white cover. About thirty centimeters of snow, which added to the 25 that had already fallen a few days earlier.
In total they make over 50 centimeters which, according to City officials, can be removed in three weeks of work. First, in fact, it is necessary to think about cleaning the streets. Then, as Barbara Gray, general manager of Toronto’s Department of Transportation Services, explained this morning to the media, crews will begin clearing the snow – prioritizing sidewalks, bus stops, hospitals, schools, etc. – loading it onto dump trucks and hauling it to designated landfills.
Inconveniences during the long Family Day weekend for those who had to travel: the snowfall caused some sections of the subway and dozens of bus lines to stop (here all the updates), while it caused more than 100 accidents on the GTA motorways. But, beyond the inevitable problems, the spectacular nature of the moment was guaranteed, and enchanted everyone.
