Are You Dreaming of a White Christmas in Toronto?
Monday, December 22nd, 2008If so, you’re in luck. With the amount of snow that we’ve gotten in the last few days and the predictions for the days to come, it’s pretty much a done deal. After we got hammered on Friday, it was fortunate indeed that Sunday’s predicted storm never materialized. Friday’s blizzard virtually paralyzed Pearson International Airport, canceling hundreds of flights and stranding unhappy travelers trying to head out for Christmas holidays. Offices closed early so that commuters could make their way home before the worst of it hit. GO Trains were canceled along the Lakeshore East and West lines during afternoon rush hour. And, the highways and city streets were utterly chaotic and littered with accidents.
Although we missed another blizzard you have nothing to worry about. Environment Canada’s weather forecast for Toronto for the next few days definitely includes a white Christmas.
