Yesterday's winter weather may have come as a bit of a surprise to the city of Toronto.

The amount of snowfall the city received, coupled with freezing temperatures broke winter weather records. Before yesterday the largest recorded snowfall in Toronto on November  11 was back in 1983 with three centimetres of snow.

Might really overachieve with this one. Already 9 cm of snow as of 3PM and the really heavy stuff is still on the way.

The extreme weather so early in the season caused some issues for the city, and for people who were commuting home last night and early this morning.

City staff told CityNews yesterday that they haven't seen an event of this size, this early since 2007.

Due to this unexpected dump of snow the city didn't even have all their winter operations ready to go.

Usually their full winter weather management fleet isn't up and running until about a week from now.

Conditions were just as bad inside the city, for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. Even though city crews were working from 9 p.m onwards through the night, many sides walks and streets still were not cleared by morning.

When will Toronto prioritize #PedestrianSafety and plow sidewalks!!! #VsionZero @Walk_TO @VisionZeroTO https://t.co/jSU3Ew8Xzi

While commuting through the snow has been treacherous for many, some people are actually enjoying this weather right now.
