Weather forecast reveals when Toronto is expected to get its first snowfall

A long-term weather forecast has revealed when southern Ontario is expected to be hit with the first snowfall of the season.

Last year, the first snowfall came right at the turn of the month on Nov. 1. The year before that, the snowy season kicked off on Nov. 7.

According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac latest long-term weather forecast, Toronto will get its first hint of snow a little earlier than the previous two years.

The long-term weather forecaster said that southern Ontario, which includes Toronto and its surrounding areas, would likely see rain, cold weather and snow showers between Oct. 24 and 31.

However, the region’s first snowfall, not snow showers, as well as very cold temperatures, are not expected until Nov. 20 to 30.
