After enduring the longest and most relentless cold snap in over a decade, Torontonians are finally catching a break—but it’s not without a twist. Imagine weeks of bone-chilling temperatures, only to be greeted by snow-covered roads as the mercury finally climbs above freezing. Yes, milder weather has arrived, but here’s where it gets interesting: the relief comes with a side of slippery commutes and a forecast that’s keeping meteorologists on their toes.
Updated at 9:49 AM EST on February 10, 2026, the latest reports confirm that for the first time in 23 days, Toronto’s daytime high will rise above 0°C. But don’t toss your winter coat just yet—Environment Canada warns it’ll still feel like -9°C this morning. And this is the part most people miss: while the cold is easing, the weather isn’t exactly flipping to spring. Instead, we’re in for a week of seasonable temperatures, with highs hovering around freezing and a potential spike to 4°C on Family Day. Sounds pleasant, right? Well, not so fast.
Controversial take alert: While many are celebrating the end of the deep freeze, the arrival of milder weather has brought its own challenges—like snow-covered roads during Tuesday’s morning rush hour in the GTA. CP24 Meteorologist Bill Coulter predicts up to four centimetres of accumulation today, with isolated flurries lingering into the afternoon. But here’s the kicker: while some models hint at more snow on Sunday, others aren’t so sure. Is this the calm before another winter storm, or just a fleeting taste of normalcy?
For those wondering what’s next, Coulter notes that while the cold snap is officially over, the weather remains unpredictable. More snow could be on the horizon, but it’s too early to tell. So, here’s the question: Are we truly out of the woods, or is winter just biding its time? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—do you think this milder weather is here to stay, or is another cold snap lurking around the corner?
