The Toronto District School Board and Toronto Catholic District School Boards say schools will be open Tuesday after record-breaking snowfall on the weekend forced schools to close Monday. The York Region District also says its schools will be open Tuesday.

Multiple snowstorms hit Toronto in January 1999. Public Safety Canada said the first storm dumped 40 centimetres of snow at the beginning of the month. The following weekend, more snow fell on the city.

The city has added two more snow dumping sites where it will truck snow removed from streets, some of which were blanketed by more than 90 cm over the two January storms.
