Massive Storm Hits GTA, Bringing Snow & Winter's Worst
Tuesday February 13, 2007
Ready or not here it comes.
And you have to wonder if any of us can ever be ready for this.
The GTA is experiencing the first big winter storm of the year, with residents here hoping that predictions of the 10-15 centimetres forecasters are saying could land on us will turn out to be a lot less than that.
The disturbance, which is both long and loud, has left a path of snow, howling winds and bitterly cold temperatures all across the mid-western part of the U.S.
And now it's our turn.
The first traces of the snow started around the rush hour, but it's overnight when it's supposed to really pile up in earnest.
But no matter what happens, we may consider ourselves lucky.
Special weather statements from Environment Canada warn places like Oakville and Hamilton could wind up with 70 centimetres, thanks to a combination of lake effect squalls and the storm itself.
At least five centimetres had fallen there by the dinner hour and things were just - you should pardon the expression - warming up.
Just how big is this monster? Consider this: when it just started snowing in T.O., it was still coming down all the way into Chicago, where a blizzard warning remained in effect.
And this disturbance is packing just about everything - snow, ice, strong winds, bitterly cold temperatures, the possibility of whiteouts and the near certainty that everything you just shovelled off your driveway will blow back again in mere minutes.
Experts don't expect it to end until sometime late Wednesday. And that means the morning commute from hell just about everywhere by sunrise.
Police are warning motorists to get up early, both to clean their driveways and to allow for the extra travel time.
All of Toronto's snow clearing knights are out, ready to slay this winter dragon.
"We'll probably use about 10,000 tonnes of salt and we have 200 salters available and 600 road plows and 300 sidewalk plows, so we have a large fleet that's ready to tackle any storm that should hit," explains the city's Myles Curry.
They've been waiting for this big event and after a mild winter, they're up for the challenge. The question is are you?
