I'm moving from Australia to Toronto next year and would like to know the best time to go to avoid the snow. I haven't lived in the snow before, so I'd like to be comfortable with the weather when I arrive. I don't drive either - would this be a problem in winter if I was living in or near the city?

Maybe around late December it starts snowing.

Nowhere in Canada has 3 hundred and sixty 5 days round snow - no longer even contained in the a procedures North. Mountain tops, perhaps, yet, that is it. Toronto is warm contained in the summer season! it is very nearly as a procedures south as California. each so often Toronto slightly even receives snow contained in the iciness. Canada isn't the frigid usa human beings imagine. some parts have palm timber, deserts, and citrus fruit. I had a seem on the uncomplicated climate for Toronto (see link below), and, there are purely 4 months of the three hundred and sixty 5 days with snow on the floor, and easily January has more desirable than a million", specifically 7cm (about 2 a million/2"). with the aid of the proper of March, the snow might want to be lengthy gone in a regular 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, and this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days has been very mild. you'd be fortunate to work out snow with the aid of the proper of this month. I purely had a seem at some Toronto webcams, and did not see any snow in any respect. the different challenge is that Toronto is quite flat. they do no longer have a lot contained in the way of ski parts besides, a minimum of, no longer reliable ones.

The snow can come any time after October. This year was exceptional and the weather was a balmy 17 degrees at the end of November while the West coast was struggling with a foot of snow. A real reversal, and not typical for either place. If you don't drive, it won't be a problem if you live in the city - the transporttion system is pretty good, but if you live out of town you could have a problem.
Welcome to Canada!

Greetings from Toronto!
It's December 5th here in Toronto, and it just started snowing the last couple days - just a bit though. There'll probably be some snow on the ground til March. The summers here are hot, so if that's the kind of weather you're used to, July would be a good time to come. If you don't drive, that may be to your advantage - the traffic can get pretty bad and the public transport system is good.
Enjoy yourself here.

It starts snowing here in December, sometimes a little bit in November. It stops in April or so. The best month would probably be June or July for you to feel most at home. It hits around 35-40 degrees Celsius in July and August, and cooler by about 5-10 degrees in June.
If you live in the city you should have no problem with transportation at all. There are buses and subways and commuter trains all leading around the city. The outskirts don't have as many forms of transportation but still should have sufficient busing.
Good luck with your move! And welcome to Canada, eh.

Snow in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) will arrive, generally, in December but it can be as early as November. It will probably last until April but it depends on the weather changes. Global warming is screwing this a bit so it can vary. As for not driving, if you live in the GTA, there is public transit as well as the Go train to get around. It's not as easy as having a car but it will work.

It snowed a little earlier this evening!!!
It wasn't much, but it's pretty cold outside so it's still there.
If you're going to be living and working/studying in the main core, you really don't need a car. Public transportation is great.
Don't worry about the snow-- you'll get used to it! Just bundle up and get a good pair of boots.

It's snowed before Halloween and it's been green all the way up to Christmas.It's been gone by mid February and has stuck around to 1st week of April. Take your pick, we don't control our weather.
Your not driving won't be much of an issue if you're sticking to staying within Toronto itself. If you're going to be north of Vaughn and not on or near Yonge St., then you may have an issue. There is no public transport where I live for example, 10 miles from Yonge st and only 25 miles north of the Lake.

Well......
Nope.
I used to live in Canada and usually they put this thing on the slippery roads and it helped it not be slippery.
