To the rest of Canada and our friends in Buffalo, yesterdays snowstorm was just another snowstorm. Don't get me wrong, Toronto is in Canada, so we do know what snow is, but we don't usually get as much as we did yesterday. 2-3 cms is whats normal in Toronto, 26 cms is crazy! So yes it was a big deal for us in the big city. Laugh if you will, but here are some interesting facts from yesterdays snowstorm. 26 cms the amount of snow that fell in the city yesterday.
28 cms the one day snowfall record which occurred Dec. 11, 1944.
Winter does not officially start until Dec. 21st which is still 4 days away.
60 cms the total accumulation of snow for all of last year.
55 cms the total accumulation of snow so far this year.
Toronto has 5,200 kms of road which needs to be cleared of snow.
Total cost for the clean up by the city $2-3 million of the city's $67 million snow budget.
Pilar ankle deep.
Nice job cleaning your car buddy!
