Residents in Toronto awoke to a blanket of white snow on Monday morning (January 26) after a giant winter storm that walloped large parts of North America dumped record-breaking amounts of snow in Canada's largest city. Local media, citing meteorologists at Environment Canada, reported that downtown Toronto received 24 inches ( 61 cm) of snow, while Toronto Pearson Airport received 18 inches (46 cm). Residents were seen shoveling driveways and sidewalks and parked cars lay buried under the snow.
