Along with the torrential rain delivering 100+mm to parts of the GTA over the last few hours, tree down in North York outside of our studios narrowly avoiding a vehicle. #onstorm
Holy hail! Left my desk at Global News HQ in North York to come up to our resources unit where the hail is pounding on the ceiling. Lots of lightning and thunder too. This is the loudest Iโve heard in the studio and newsroom it in my 39 years at Global .#ONStorm@AnthonyFarnell

With historic snow and drifts make sure the exhaust for your heating systems are clear of snow. @its_RT thanks for reminding me about this! #onstorm#tosnow

Heavy, fluffy, blowing snow, and cold having a significant impact on a.m. commute for GTA and southern Ontario. Most snow so far this season for TO - it's not often you see TO in the bullseye for the heaviest amounts - 20-30 cm possible! Snow eases by ~2 p.m. for GTA #onstorm
Warmest Jan. 9 on record at Toronto Pearson! Temp. reaching 11.8ยฐC early this afternoon.
Previous record 11.6ยฐC in 2008. Warmth comes with a price - gusty SW winds could reach 70-90 km/h for the GTA this afternoon/early evening. #yyz#ONwx#onstorm
My four-pawed measuring device sniffed 8 cm in southwest Scarborough (non-paved surfaces) close to the 9 cm reported so far at Pearson. Snow easing now but with temps. well below freezing overnight into Mon. a.m. roads/sidewalks will be slippery! @CanadianBrosEh#onstorm
