Toronto faced a winter wallop Thursday as a fierce snowstorm forced school closures, flight cancellations, and traffic chaos across Canada’s largest city. With visibility near zero and wind gusts hitting 60 km/h, the storm left commuters stranded and kids building snow forts instead of attending class. 🚗💨
School’s Out, Snow’s In
Multiple school boards canceled in-person classes entirely, while others shifted to online learning – a throwback to pandemic-era routines. Parents scrambled to adjust, with one local tweeting: "Guess my home office just became a daycare/sledding HQ!" 🏫❄️
Travel Turmoil
✈️ 150+ flights canceled at Pearson Airport
🚆 GO Transit delays up to 90 minutes
🚧 40+ collisions reported on Highway 401 by noon
Meteorologists say this could be Toronto’s biggest January snowfall since 2022, with 25-35 cm expected by Friday morning. Environment Canada warns: "Avoid non-essential travel – this isn’t just flurry season, it’s survival mode!" ⚠️
As snowplows work overtime, the city braces for more disruptions. Will this winter wonderland turn into a weekend headache? Stay tuned for updates. 📱🌨️
