Toronto is expected to be hit by a major snowstorm starting Wednesday evening, February 12, 2025. According to a special weather statement issued by "Environment Canada," snow, ice pellets, and freezing rain are expected to begin Wednesday evening and continue into Thursday.

Expected details:

Additional information:

This significant snowfall is associated with a low-pressure system that may affect the area starting Wednesday evening. There is still uncertainty regarding the exact path of this low, but snow may change to freezing rain or ordinary rain late Wednesday night or Thursday morning.
