Some facts about snow in Toronto. Its enough to make you want to cry. Enjoy...* We had to deal with snow 3 out every 4 days this winter
* an average of 3.7 cm has fallen on 47 days since the first accumulation on Nov. 21. Normal is 36. Plus, there's been a trace of snow on 27 more days.
* This season there were 5 days with more than 10 cm of snow, 4 of those since Feb 1. Typically in the last 30 years, only 1 or 2 days were above 10 cm.
* We've had 177 cm of snow, nearly three times more than last year, with record February snow of 76.8 cm, topping the old mark of 66.6 cm set in 1950. And don't put the shovel away. One quarter of Toronto's snow typically falls after Mar. 1.
* Snow is forecast every day this week.
* We need another 30 cm to break the all-time record of 207.4 cm, which fell in Toronto's winter of 1938-39. This is quite likely if the pattern of "storm after storm" continues.
* And there's no guarantee we won't see more in April. Normal snowfall then is 5.7 cm.
