Toronto is a city of snow wimps. I live here, but previously lived in the snowbelt and Montreal, both areas that get considerably more snow than Toronto. We'd get 2 or 3 feet of snow in a week on Lake Simcoe and you'd here a fraction of the bellyaching you get in Toronto for 1/3 that amount. And everyone went to work, too, right after shovelling the driveway out.
And snow tires are essential - if you live outside the city, at any rate, or if you drive a lot within the city. They make an enormous difference.
