A rare and unusually early snowstorm struck southeastern Canada on November 9, 2025, blanketing the provinces of Quebec and Ontario.
In southern Ontario — including Toronto, the country’s largest city — nearly four inches of snow fell on November 9. This was the region’s earliest snowfall of such magnitude in more than half a century, not seen since 1969. Typically, snowfall of this volume does not arrive until December. In nearby Hamilton, up to 6.5 inches of snow accumulated — the earliest event of this kind there since 1962. Ontario police reported hundreds of traffic incidents within a 24-hour period.
In Quebec, some areas saw up to 14 inches of snow overnight. The regions of Montérégie and Montreal were hit the hardest. Numerous fallen branches damaged power lines, leaving nearly 400,000 customers without electricity. Roads were coated in ice, causing serious accidents. Public works crews were deployed to clear roughly 6,000 miles of streets and sidewalks.
Meteorologists explain that the cause was a powerful polar vortex drawing Arctic air from northern Canada and even from near the North Pole — almost three weeks before the official start of winter.
Once again, we are witnessing anomalies and escalating instability in the natural processes of atmospheric circulation. Few people realize that one of the contributing factors to this planetary disruption — alongside rising temperatures — is micro- and nanoplastic pollution, with trillions of particles now present in Earth’s atmosphere.
