As the live forecast above indicates, Toronto is in for a snowy day with accumulations of 5 to 10 centimetres expected. The heaviest bands will move through during the morning commute, then taper off by late afternoon, leaving a crisp winter scene across the city.
How much snow is Toronto expecting today?
The live forecast above pins the heaviest burst between 8 a.m. and noon, with rates near 1–2 centimetres per hour. Snow-covered roads and reduced visibility will make for a slower drive, so keep an eye on Toronto weather hourly updates and plan extra time if heading out. By evening the system will push east, and skies will clear.

Behind this front, colder air settles in for the week. The Canada weather hub shows overnight lows near –10 °C and daytime highs around –2 °C. For a longer picture, check the toronto weather 14 day and toronto weather 30 days forecasts; the next chance of significant snow arrives around midweek, but amounts look light.

Will the snow affect my commute?
Yes. Roads and sidewalks will be slippery through the morning. Transit may experience delays. Allow extra travel time and drive according to conditions. The heaviest snow falls between 8 a.m. and noon, so the afternoon commute should improve as skies clear.
When will the snow stop?
The system pushes east by late afternoon. Flurries will linger into early evening but accumulations will be minor. After that, clear and cold conditions arrive for several days, as shown in the weather in toronto tomorrow and extended forecasts.
Is this a record snowfall for the date?
No. A typical mid‑January snow event in Toronto brings about 5–10 cm. Today’s totals are within the seasonal normal. The city’s record for this date is 25 cm set in 1999.
