Hours after Environment Canada ended its alert for snow in the Metro 麻豆传媒映画area, the first snow of the season arrived.
In most areas of the city it didn't stick, but at higher elevation areas there was definitely a build-up of the white stuff.
Online, people reacted with a certain amount of surprise, especially given the heat wave hitting parts of Canada (for example, Toronto hit 25 C this weekend).
