When winter hits, there's always one thing on everyone's mind in Toronto: when is the snow coming?

It's possible, however rare, for Toronto to get its first snowfall in October, The Weather Network tells Narcity.

Meteorologist Matt Grinter says it does happen, "however the chances are low."

"It's not until the end of November where the odds of seeing an appreciable snowfall increase," said Grinter.

Toronto's earliest snowfall within the last ten years was recorded in 2018, when 2 cm fell on October 27.

The earliest ever recorded was 0.8 cm of snow, which fell in Toronto on October 9, 1976. 

Parts of Ontario already got their first snowstorm of the season this past weekend.
