Yesterday (January 15, 2026), Toronto woke up to a powerful winter storm that dumped over 20 cm of snow in just a few hours. ❄️ Visibility dropped, making commutes a challenge across the city and its suburbs.
School boards in the Toronto area responded quickly: some fully suspended classes, while others opted for partial closures. If you've got friends studying at the University of Toronto or Ryerson, they faced canceled lectures and online catch-ups!
Getting around became a test of patience. Buses and streetcars crawled through snow-covered streets, and Go Transit services faced delays. At Pearson Airport, air traffic control slowed operations — leaving several inbound and outbound flights grounded or rerouted. ✈️
For anyone planning a winter getaway to Canada's East Coast or prepping for a ski trip in Whistler: always check snow advisories and flight updates before you head out. Apps like FlightAware and DriveBC can help you track changes in real time. 📱
Crews are now racing to clear main roads and reopen transit lanes. Conditions should start improving today, but epic snow days can linger — so bundle up, grab a hot chai, and enjoy the winter vibes safely! 🧣☕
