It was recorded that 26 centimetres of snow had fallen by mid-morning at Toronto Pearson airport, marking the heaviest snowfall of the season and surpassing what the city saw a few days earlier on Feb. 8 with 15 centimetres of snow. The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and the Toronto Catholic District School Board, among several other boards across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), were closed to staff and students on Thursday because of the snow event. The City of Toronto’s transportation services director Vincent Sferrazza said plowing and salting operations were underway throughout the overnight. By 8 a.m., all major roads had been plowed at least two times and a first round for local roads and sidewalks.
