When will the snow melt in southern Ontario?

Parts of southern Ontario got hammered by a massive snowstorm on Sunday.

Some places saw around 60 cm, particularly parts of Toronto. Other very impressive totals were also recorded elsewhere.

Toronto Pearson International Airport recorded 46 cm, marking the highest daily snowfall total on record there.

It has been a tough winter so far for Ontario, with frigid temperatures and plenty of snow.

Residents may be having some difficulty Monday finding places to put all of the snow that just fell.

So, is there any hope that some of it might melt sometime soon?

It appears not.

The Weather Network’s 14-day forecast (up to Feb. 9) for Toronto shows that temperatures are not expected to climb above 0 C for at least the next two weeks.

In fact, this week the “warmest” daytime high in the forecast for the city is just -8 C, which is expected on Sunday.

Over the course of the upcoming two weeks, the warmest daytime high currently forecast is -6 C on Feb. 5.

Low temperatures are expected to reach the minus double digits nearly every day.

Oshawa, Mississauga, Hamilton, and Niagara Falls have similar forecasts, with the temperature not expected to climb above the freezing mark for at least the next two weeks.

So the snow is definitely here to stick around and won’t be going away any time soon.

Residents will need to do their best when cleaning up and municipalities will likely need to start removing mounds of snow.

When exactly we will finally climb back up above the freezing mark and see at least some of the snow begin to melt remains to be seen.
