Snow clearing continues through the night

Some 600 plows continue to clank through the streets tonight in an attempt to bring some order to the city’s traffic on Saturday. A news release regarding emergency services and staffing is on a page here. The good news is that the sunny weather forecast is holding so that everyone may at least go out without snow in the face. This storm is easily identified by those over about the age of about 12 as the worst in the city since the execrable winter of 2008. The snowfall of that year however fell early and frequently right through to the end of February and we may hope that Toronto will escape the 2013 winter with less snow overall than in 2008.
