GTA Faces 60‑cm Snowstorm: Transit, Flights, City Services Hit

On Jan 25, 2026 Environment Canada warned of a severe orange weather alert as snow could reach 60 cm in southern Etobicoke and Mississauga, with peak rates of 5‑8 cm per hour. By 2 p.m. 18 cm had fallen, adding to the 105 cm Toronto already recorded this winter. The City of Toronto declared a significant weather event, activating its snow‑event plan, and cut 48 TTC bus stops, paused Line 2 between Kipling and Islington, and halted Line 1 between Lawrence and St Clair. Pearson International Airport canceled 60 % of departing and 62 % of arriving flights; Billy Bishop Airport cancelled 45 flights total. Municipal services closed libraries, schools and outdoor rinks, and Mississauga imposed a street‑parking ban at 2 p.m. Brampton libraries shut, while Vaughan called on residents to clear blocked basins.
