Salt used on roadways, driveways and sidewalks gets washed into stormwater ponds and affects the water's ability to freeze.

This creates dangerous ice conditions like thin ice, cracks and holes. Please stay away from stormwater ponds and use less salt this winter.

How Toronto's historic snowfall stacks up against other Canadian cities - The Weather Network How does Toronto's record-setting snowfall on Sunday stack up to other major cities in Canada? It certainly put the city near the top of the list

For the city of Toronto, there is only a 0.26 per cent chance of seeing snowfall greater than 25 cm in the month of January. The chances of seeing more than 40 cm of snow during the month is zero per cent, on average. https://ow.ly/gOGz50Y5AIP
