Good news... Next week it starts to warm up fast.
Bad news... It will warm up fast AND rain a lot.
Creeks and other flood prone areas will see a risk of flooding.
But we've got lots of notice about this, so hopefully we can be ready.

Throughout February, I'm partaking in the Push-Up Challenge along with co-workers where the goal is to do 2,000 push-ups (sit-ups are ok too) for better mental health & suicide prevention. If you'd like to donate: thepushupchallenge.ca/fundra…. Worthy cause! @weathernetwork
ALT It’s hard to believe I came to Toronto in a trade in May of 1981, thinking that would be the end of a very good career. Little did I know that I still would be associated with the Blue Jays through the 2025 season.
What a glorious season it was. It was a joy and an honour to be involved in each and every game through Game 7 of the World Series. Only one other outcome could have topped the fantastic year.
After the World Series, my wife Arlene and I had plenty of time to think about the past and look forward to our future. After many heartfelt conversations, we both decided it was time for me to step out of the booth and enjoy the years ahead.
It has been a fantastic journey with Sportsnet, the Blue Jays and the wonderful Blue Jays fans all over the world. Thank you all for embracing me and welcoming my family and me in a way that has made us feel like we are part of yours.
The #BlueJays will honour the first game in franchise history with a $0.77 Hot Dog Night on April 7th.
I didn’t expect to write that sentence when I woke up this morning, but such is the gift of life.

Sunday January 25th's snowfall at #YYZ at the top of the heap for the most single day snowfall! This January also surpassed the infamous January of 1999 when Mayor Mel Lastman called in the army. These are numbers recorded at Pearson. Downtown recorded 118 cm of snow in Jan '99.
School closures, flight delays & all around rough travel across the GTA & much of southern & eastern Ontario. If you must drive, pack a shovel; top up the washer fluid & be prepared for a much longer & slower commute. Note: salt not efficient at these cold temps. #onstorm
