The City of Toronto says it\u2019s bracing for another big dumping of snow<\/a> this Family Day long weekend, with snowfalls forecasted on both Saturday and Sunday that could bring at least another 20 cm of snow.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to Barbara Gray, the general manager for the city\u2019s transportation services, Toronto is expected to get about five cm of snow on Saturday, and another 15 to 20 cm of snow on Sunday.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s after Toronto got dumped with around 19 cm of snow in many parts of the city on Wednesday night, Gray said. Toronto Pearson airport, in the city\u2019s northwest, recorded 26 cm there. Last weekend saw 15 cm of snow fall.<\/p>\n

Gray reminded residents that a parking ban is still in place on designated snow routs, as the city has declared a \u201cmajor snowstorm condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis means that parking continues to be prohibited on all designated snow routes, to help crews clear our streets as effectively as possible,\u201d Gray said. \u201cSnow routes are primarily located in the downtown core and include all streetcar routes.\u201d<\/p>\n
