Winter Arrives Early in Toronto
Toronto residents woke up to their first taste of winter this season as snow began falling across the city, prompting Environment Canada to issue a special weather statement. The unexpected early snowfall marks the beginning of what could be a challenging winter season for Canada's largest city.
Weather Advisory Details
Environment Canada has forecasted up to 10 centimetres of snow accumulation for Sunday, catching many Torontonians off guard. The national weather agency's special weather statement warns of potentially hazardous travel conditions as roads become slick with the season's first accumulation.
The timing of this snowfall is particularly notable given that we're still in early November, suggesting winter may be arriving ahead of schedule. Meteorologists are monitoring the system closely as it develops over southern Ontario.
Regional Impact and Precautions
This weather system isn't isolated to Toronto alone. Environment Canada has issued the first snowfall warnings of the season for both Quebec and Ontario, with Montreal bracing for up to 20 centimetres of snow this weekend.
Local authorities are urging drivers to exercise caution and adjust to winter driving conditions. The sudden change in weather serves as an important reminder for residents to prepare their vehicles and homes for the coming winter months.
As Toronto experiences this early winter preview, Environment Canada continues to monitor the situation and will update advisories as necessary. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about changing conditions throughout the weekend.
