Toronto was hit with a blast of winter weather on Wednesday after weeks of relatively mild temperatures.
Environment Canada issued a snowfall warning for Canada’s largest city, saying total accumulations of between 15 and 20 cm were possible. The agency also warned of potential power outages, adding the storm was expected to end Thursday morning.
Police said they had responded to about 40 collisions as of Wednesday evening, as the snow made for slick road conditions.
“The car's off. It's been off for 30 minutes,” one person said as they waited amid the traffic congestion created by poor driving conditions.

@alien4053 Год назад

It's ridiculous at this point. I'm talking about the people and not the weather. I just got home and spent an hour in traffic (Montreal) because idiots decided to drive 30km/h in the passing lane on the highway with their hazards on and REFUSE TO MOVE OVER. It's as if they think they have some authority and are the keepers of the speed. If you're not comfortable with winter driving that's fine but STAY THE FK OUT OF THE PASSING LANE and let people who know how to drive in the snow get to where their going. It snows every year and it's like the drivers just keep getting worse and worse.

90 minutes north east of Toronto in Lindsay, it's a different world. Must be a fluke. Nothing ever happens here. As I tell everyone, the only danger in Lindsay, is dying of boredom. Because nothing ever happens here. And no, I've been saying this since 67. I'm originally from Quebec where actual snow happens. Good thing I don't own skis. No way to use them here.

@user-fy7ru4ii1i Год назад

My drive home was very slow, about 20km under the speed limit. But then, everyone else was going that speed too (except the hot shots with fancy cars and really, REALLY nice snow tires). My drive home is normally about 20 minutes. I got home 15 minutes later than normal. I drove extra cautious and got home safe. My family and I enjoyed some backyard snow.

@garywagner2466 Год назад

The media coverage has been comical. Ask why the City was not better prepared. Ask why so many people were trying to drive when they did not have to. Ask how many people still don’t bother with snow tires. Ask why, every year, some Canadians are surprised by winter. Ask why -15C is considered “life threatening” in the east when it is a balmy light jacket day in the west (except for Vancouver, where it is also “life threatening.”) Ask why normal winter weather is evidence of “catastrophic climate change.” It isn’t. By the way, if you own proper winter clothing, especially warm boots, winter is actually quite pleasant.

"Heavy snow" means the snow clearing vehicles, and hundreds of tons of salt, are incapable of changing the roads to water covered roads, and therefore all-season tires become insufficient. Most of Canada doesn't live this way, and changes their tires for winter conditions.
