今(2019)年入冬以來最強風暴，預計累積最高可達25厘米，環境部發出冬季風暴警告 (Winter Storm Warning)，同時呼籲民眾減少外出。在風暴影響下，各大校區校車停止服務，其中多倫多校區罕有決定同時不開放學校 (school closed)，20年來僅發生3次。
對上一次因天氣關閉校園已經是2011年，再對上一次已經是20年前的1999年。大多倫多其他校區，包括公立及天主教校區的校巴服務全線暫停，但杜林區及約克區的校園仍然開放。包括據CP24的報導，多倫多教育局發言人Ryan Bird表示，雖然決定會為家庭帶來不便，但為了教職員的安全。
約克區和杜林區決定繼續開放校園惹來教職員的極度不滿，在其Twitter公佈校園照常開放之帖子，留言一面倒怒駡教育局草菅人命。
Love driving in unsafe conditions because my safety is not important to the school district, mental heath in shambles and overall well-being poor can’t wait to get into an accident as well thanks to yrdsb

Bad weather day after another you won’t close schools due to funding. Teachers lives and the students and parents lives matter. Wish whomever makes these decisions would get that! Please close the schools and let everyone stay safe!

同樣惹怒駡的還有多倫多大學市中心校園，其實大多倫多各大專同樣宣佈全日停課，包括其士嘉堡及密西沙加校園，卻唯獨市中心校園照常開放，結果同樣駡聲四起。經過數小時受到連綿不滿的訊息，終於在近中午時份宣佈下午4:00後的課程取消，惟眾怒仍未能平息，可按入以下帖子看看留言。
