Snow could set winter record
February 23, 2008

Staff Reporter

City workers have removed 27,500 truckloads of snow from Toronto streets since last week, when officials announced a massive snow removal plan.

As of noon yesterday, 1,250 kilometres of road had been cleared, said Peter Noehammer, the city's director of transportation services.

Crews have been working since Feb. 15 to clear narrow, downtown streets. The removal plan will cost an estimated $20 million, just less than one-third of the city's snow removal budget for the year.

February has had record-breaking snowfall levels. Winter has dumped 69.4 centimetres of fluffy stuff across the city. The GTA has seen nothing like it since 1950, when 66.6 centimetres fell.

Since November, nearly 150 centimetres of snow has fallen on the GTA. It is looking like this winter may break the all-time snowfall record of 207 centimetres, which dates to the winter of 1938-39.
