Snowmageddon or Snow What?

Forecasters predicted today's snowstorm would be the worst Toronto has seen in two years, but it hasn't done much to impress residents. With only 15 to 20 centimetres of snow expected to fall by the day's end, the overall feeling is... snowstorm? what snowstorm?

  1. VIDEO: Witness to the storm

    It wasn't Snowmageddon. But the overnight storm in the GTA did provide its own beauty - as captured in time lapse by Star cameras.
  2. What's the evening commute going to be like?

    Meteorologist Geoff Coulson said up to five more centimetres could
    fall during Wednesday afternoon, which would bring the total up to 20
    centimetres, not the 30 predicted earlier this week.

    Hamilton was the hardest hit area in the GTA, said Coulson.
    Visibility there has been less than 500 metres since the storm began,
    and Hamilton is likely to see the full 30 centimetres meteorologists
    predicted.
