Normal day in Northern Ontario. Good luck people.😀
That's funny.
Like, ya, has there never been snow in terranna?
Xactly.
2:59 he addresses exactly that
i never told my girlfriend that her best friend kissed me after she got drunk.
They're not plowing the roads 24 hours A-day like they used to before this Trudy for this true the administration so now they're making it for their climate change you know but really honestly I figured out what's making the climate change the earthquakes and the volcanoes and it's not Is climate change or the masses. It's my planet that they're hiding in the sky nobody's put dibs on it but me so it's mine I like see someone trying to take it away from me I've even named
PLANET HELLION 😆
I love it when random people just step off to cross roads in these conditions. They don't realize there is no stopping on a dime, and the chances of me sliding into you are great!
؟؟؟

Our parents walked 5 miles (8.04672 km) to school uphill both ways in that kind of snow. Everyday!
St. Catharines is really bad on the roads.
Why?????
Do they want a cookie?
And was true!
@@Eusantdac You didn't get the joke. lol
If you go uptown where the plows don’t go first you’ll find a grid lock of cars and buses stuck and abandoned…. Go north of Eglinton and it’s a completely different story than what this video shows. Buses are not moving. In fact there are many pilled up and stuck (like 6 in one area) blocking roads and ways around. The north of Toronto is majorly impacted right now. Go check out Sheppard Avenue and Keele street…
I agree. Media always has to say just part of the story, the positive part. Like the 30%
That is why problems continue rather than get solved, because public is discouraged from looking at the actual negative side of the problems so not to create pressure.
Stockholm syndrome ...or GTA syndrome
Good heavens 😳. Hope everyone makes it home safely.
a trip down memory lane thank you
Surprised that even with the snow storm warning people were parked on the street. This definitely makes snow removal difficult.
Because was supposed to be 15 to 25 cm of snow
Street parking is often the only option for many residents of Toronto. Most residential streets (old city of Toronto - not North York, Scarborough or Etobicoke) are lined with parked cars at all times.
Do not panic. When I was living in Toronto I had got three terrible and cold winters, in 1968, 1969 and 1970. This kind of snow storm was normal in those times.
true
You where a lot shorter back then.
Isn’t winter fun???Greetings from Saskatchewan🥶
Hi Betty. I'm in southern Virginia, USA. We just had a heck of a snow storm. Named the Saskatchewan Screamer. Loads of fun. ❤️
Colorado called. Said, "how quaint" A snow storm of this proportion hardly slows us down.
More resources at individual & municipal levels there
@jessie yes please, chocolate will be great. Thanks😁
This trip down Queen Street is fabulous. Thank you SO much for taking the video and sharing it.
Hey Bud , your neighbor just over the lake here to the south east in Rochester NY. It looks exactly the same here as well. 13” or so. Just a normal day in the ROC really. It was like this in the 70’s and 80’s every year. I miss this. Stay warm and drive safe. I am out delivering Doordash in my Jeep and it’s not an issue at all.
I don't know why people like that crap.
Once again Florida for the WIN
I enjoy seeing your stuff on Twitter! Next time, totally keep talking, I love learning stuff from you. Safe driving everyone!
Turn off traction control if you are stuck. Traction control slows down the wheels when it detects that the wheels are slipping.
That's Dufferin & Queen !!
Thank you for Filming. Watching From Mississauga, Ontario, Canada ❄☃️❄☃️❄☃️❄☃️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❄☃️❄☃️❄☃️❄☃️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❄ I'm concerned of all the People Stuck in 401 East for 10 hours Reported by 680 News
I read this video's title as "Toronto buses suck" 😄 I had to blink a few times! 👍
People in tbay be like that's nothing lol
Probably still flip flop weather for them hahaha
Honestly the plows are coming later every year. The last few years have been terrible.
This snowfall is nothing! I remember in Winter 1955 we had 152 cm snow in Eastern Ontario. It was over the fence posts & we couldn't get to school for 2 days until our street was plowed.
Wow, your streets are plowed? Not here in Niagara! Even if you clear snow off your driveway, there’s too much snow in the side streets to go anywhere. Definitely a snow day, today! Stay safe everyone
It costs too much to have seasonal tire changes with a fleet of buses and they don't make winter tires with the sidewall armour for pulling up to curbs at bus stops so all the buses have are all season tires so of course buses would have trouble shortly after a serious snowfall. It's just that the disruption till the roads gets plowed out isn't enough to warrant the costs of proper winter tires for busses. There are experimentations with tire socks to address the traction problems on the few days that they need it but even that requires someone to put them on and take them off plus they wear out fast.
Not far from where my Daughter, & family live. Thanks for making the video so she could send it too us in N.Z.
Aholes that don’t clean the roofs of their cars off.
Things break down when the walk to the subway and/or passenger railroad station become inaccessible by car or on foot. In very cold weather countries heating energy encourages apartments four to six stories high. (One family homes extending many tens of kilometers from city centers are the result of generations of cheap heat energy, gasoline, and high wages.) In many large cities, these 4-6 story buildings are within walking distance of some kind of public transit. Oh yes, the sections of the TTC that are closed are above ground, I believe.
Heck, that's nothing! Come to Newfoundland sometime. This is a normal Wednesday here! LOL
Thank you for this amazing video!! I am from Vancouver bc, and even though this year we had a lot of snow during December but we are nothing compared to you guys. Did you have your snow tires on a suv? Anyway take good care and safe driving.
🙏 for the people of Toronto
I was hoping for more snow.. funny how this deadly pandemic wasnt the top subject today 😄
It nice to not bring it up for a change
Finally after 2 years Media repeating the same story we all already know...
@@marthemorais7636
Except he just did
Why does the TTC manager make hundreds of thousands of dollars yet the TTC service isn't prepared for winter in a country that has winter! The system is broken from the top down.
All the wires up there make it perfect getto.
Our Metrorail lines are underground in downtown Houston...not a wire or pole to be seen.
@@KB-ke3fi Yea - but it is Houston
@@KB-ke3fi Toronto's subway trains are underground
@@KB-ke3fi Consider it 'Canadian art'...
The street cars run on these wires
GOOD REPORT THANKS SO MUCH..
Lots and lots of people avoided driving out to work today. That made travel quite manageable for the ones that had no choice
As someone living in Toronto, for the past 2 months, I was wondering "Man there is just no snow this winter. Global warming perhaps? This winter is so light compared to previous winters." Then on monday, God responded and said "Here is the snow u ordered." My god, the snow was coming up to my knees and it was still snowing.
You are suckered with New Left Liberal propaganda of “climate change” narratives. there are multiple factors affecting out climate other than the “dreaded carbon” the fact magnetic pole had left Canada, the japanese earthquake in 2011 affect the earth’s axis and volcanic a actovities. Scientific facts withheld and distorted to suit their narratives.
@@diegosilang4823 Plz calm down. I really don't care about this political stuff. I only made a harmless comment about my experience with this current winter. If it's not global warming, sure. I really don't care. No offense though.
@@LastGenRichtofenn rightttt it’s been completely chill so far and then bam
Hahaha sucks to be in Toronto, looks good on them all
I live about 150 miles SSW of Toronto and I can say for certain that there is NO litter under that snow!
Looks like they can't walk in a snowstorm in Toronto either.Look at the guy on the right @ 7:18 lol
Lol
it has not showed this much in Toronto for about 20 years. It is a lot in a single day for Toronto.
Probably nothing in places like Nova Scotia, and Labrador
On the Spadina bus ? The Spadina bus! Good luck Toronto.
It was a 'WINTER HURRICANE'. Instead of rain, it came down as snow.
Thought the T.O. community would have even more snowplows out. At least your DT looks properly cleared, still icy though. To be very fair, it ain't no joke 40cm is quite enough thankyou- our almost 20cm out in Vancouver region more than a week ago already had us done in. Then again we have a third of your population only. Yeah clear that snow off the car roof nothing fancy an old kitchen or yard broom will do better at pushing than a mini snowbrush!
Se nevicasse a Palermo capirei ma a Toronto e incredibile.
Very good job thank you very much
thanks for the update fam, goodluck on the snow removal ! yikes !
Serious question: Why do red lights look amber in many videos such as this one?
It has been worse in the past years ! I had friends who had to shovel snow to get out the front door back in the 80s!
I like Toronto/Queen St!
Looks like a normal snow day in Calgary..
3:25 Not clearing snow from your roof is driving with an unsecured load.
How come the media will show this but not the huge rallies that take place?
We have buses and electric metro in my city but none of the big cables on ugly telephone poles down the middle of the street.
I'm kinda shocked for a big city in the north to have power lines on the poles.
Usually they are buried in the ground.
Do you know why the TTC transport is stopped? Due to the quality of the tires it is very low and they do not have enough traction. I haven't seen these scenes in years.
They are the same tires as the ones on transport trucks...they dont make special bus tires
Clear snow from your behind your car's exhaust pipe. Clear snow from your furnace vents outside of your house.
Or the fumes will go back into your car and your house.
Snow,it comes and goes.And this would be a normal afternoon here in Up North Minnesota!!!
Remind me not to go there. I hate snow and ice...it sucks.
@@KB-ke3fi
Yeah we got like a foot and a half of snow week ending Christmas,than on New Years Eve it hit -22 hovered for about 2 weeks,lowest was - 29.
It's still snowing,even now!!!
Oh no!!!!!! Center of the universe is in trouble! 🙄
Going forward and backwards helps to don’t turn your wheels when you do it
Things break down , and we find a strategy at the end
The streets sure look different without the streetcars zooming by.
I see streetcar overhead wires all over the place... but I guess that they don't work too well in deep snow.
- ETA: There's a couple at 19:50.... but not moving / offline(?).
Streetcars are actually better in snow as the rails keep them from sliding side to side and they release sand for traction on the rails if there’s wheel slip. He was driving on Queen St which has had various sections under construction for the past few months so they’ve been using busses temporarily
@@gordonalsop8537 - Good to know that TTC still uses streetcars. Awesome.
It is not the snow that is a concern, it is the patchy snow removal later that will be a problem as it will turn into ice
Aweful
Love to frolic in the snow .but not with blizzard or snowful in a rainy situation.
Welcome
A day to sleep in and chill...
Is this the first time it snowed in TO? Why were the buses out anyway?
toronto buses operate 24/7
Why wouldnt the buses be out?
Ok silly question I'm sure BUT what's with the mess of wires criss-crossing the streets? Are they electric lines? There's so many! I've never seen this before.
@Wise Acres Oh LOL ok Thanks. I had never seen that before.
It must be a nightmare.
I know that area
Call in the Army, lol 😆 I live west of Barrie we got nailed No problem, bring the next storm we're ready. Oh ya we're getting snowsqualls tonight.
This is normal 90’s weather winter. In fact it was worse. With the army being called in on a regular basis. No power in the city for days. This is nothing. When the snow storms use to go up almost half way of the bus stops
Did you forget that the camera was still recording?
it was soothing watching him drive, regardless, haha. he came by my street!
"PANAMA RELOCTION TOURS !! WITH JACKIE!!🙋♀😊👍❤👈"
What day is this
In Toronto it is a disaster everywhere it is called winter.
And you don't realize that in this short amount of time that the amount of snow we got then was devasting
Oh man i would be out having a blast in my truck haha
you should of seen the snowstorms in the 50s in toronto
sounds to me like theres a lot of sniffing going on at odd times
Toronto: oh no! Snow! Close everything! Get the kids! Call the military!
Ottawa: hold my beaver tail.
Arkansas ?
One day winter tires will b a must for Toronto folks.
I don't get it. It looks like a regular Canadian Winter..what am i missing here? Why is the city shut down? lol oh my
It's because yesterday our ground was bare. Yeah, it normally looks like this after many small snows all winter long, but this all accumulated within a few hours.
Not many ppl on the roads😂😂wonder why. Everybody is amazed again at snowcwow. I live in ny and back in the day the entire north east and Canada would look like this every winter almost, I think we’ve all gotten spoilt over the last 3-4 decades with very little snow fall during the winter
???? ?? The Truckers Convoy to Ottawa is leaving Delta at 8 am sharp on Sunday, January 23. A huge convoy of trucks and cars is expected to slow roll on Highway 1.

200 st overpass in Langley at 9:00 am
McCallum overpass in Abbotsford at 9:30 am
Vedder overpass in Chilliwack at 10:00
????please share! ??
All we need is a quatroo awd Audi and they’ll be good
No è normale che in una città come Toronto si fermano tutti gli autobus per neve.
Well done Toronto 👏 this is the kind of snow clearing you get, and kind of problems you can look forward to when you elect John Tory. Remember these issues when municipal elections come around. Don't elect the old grey mayor, he ain't what he used to be.
Calgary made a statement they ONLY use summer tires ALL-YEAR-ROUND !! How dumb
The 'summer tire club' has regular meetings in the ditches when it snows.
No such thing as summer tires anymore, all season tires.
@@gq-cw6xi Any "all season" tire that is near 1/2 tread depth is in reality a summer tire. Way too many people look at those 1/2 worn out tires and think they can get another winter out of them. As a tire wears the rubber contacting the road become harder and provides less grip.
Note only the pick up trucks suvs are able to drive around hence why they are the only vehicles we drive in the north
budy your going east not west..
Moved to Canada last year and now I WANT OUT! Winter is pure MISERY. It' s not the just snow and cold it's the excessive use of ice melt. Ice melt is everywhere, making everything so gross and disgusting. After this, I willl never spend another winter in Canada. I am so over it.
Need help packing?
@@gq-cw6xi No I can hire people do everything and I am in a place in my life where I can move where ever I want. Canada is a gorgeous country if you do not mind the winters. I mind.
thats just flurries
🔥🥶🔥
Haha it’s nothing as compared to Winnipeg . Buses run normal in this kind of snow . I think Winnipeg bus drivers are better trained in this kind of weather.
I don't see no salt trucks🤔
And these are the same people that make fun of people in Vancouver and Victoria when driving in the snow 😂
In Calgary it takes about 4 snowflakes for cars with BC plates to slow to a crawl.
@@AutoCrete oh you mean those BC People,e from , Kimberly ! Revelstoke? Prince George ? Whistler ? Kelowna ? Smithers ? You mean these people can’t handle four snow flakes ?
@@squamishfish Actually I'd say that people from Victoria and Vancouver make up the vast majority. I have spent a few Christmases in PG and they seem to get around pretty good. I would hope that those who live near ski resort towns do as well. The Vic & Van drivers tend to panic as soon as the road gets wet from a hint of snow.
@@AutoCrete the problem with the people from Vancouver and Victoria, Nanaimo us that unless they snowboard or ski they never buy winter tires, they try to drive with summer tires , and as I think you know it normally starts as rain then the temperatures drop as it changes to snow turning the roads into ice sheets but a lot of people still try to drive in these conditions with summer tires , I am sure if it is already minus Three or more the roads would not be as slick
@@squamishfish I'm talking about Deerfoot Trail in Calgary. FYI I used to plow and sand Deerfoot in the winter. (salted) 'Pickled sand' works down to -18 before the salt has little to no effect on the ice. When the snot from car tires is making your wind shield a mess, the road tends to be wet. When it's -10 or -15 the snowflakes instantly melt when they hit the salted road. Still the Van & Vic (BC plate) drivers slow to 20 or 30 in a 100kph zone. If you are that scared of a wet road, perhaps you should take a bus.
As for tires I run 4 snow tires in winter and very seldom engage 4X4, usually just to lube up the gears in the transfer case. FYI, on ice Bridgestone Blizzack's are the best I have tried so far, like scary awesome grip. I even like them better than lesser brands with studs.
This begs the question: Has anyone tried Dairy Queen's Strawberry Blizzard? It's to die for!
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Haagen-Daz beats them all! They use ice-cream, not ice-milk.
@@justpassinthruonR66 I agree. I have tried many brands, but Hägen Dazs is the best! Thicc creamy ice cream, not some softy that melts even while spooning it out. I'm like, seriously? ☻
Those streetlights need to be synchronized. First thing to do to help gridlock . Amazed you didnt get stuck behind a stupid street car which should be all replaced with buses
Yes so how about gas than hybrid
Oh no! Time to call out the Army... again.
Ah, Newton’s laws of motion
T shirt and shorts today in bc
Enjoy 😂😂😂🤣
where's bigfoot when you need him
