A winter storm affecting the Greater Toronto Area has caused disruptions to transportation and logistics operations. Businesses and customers should expect delays in pickups and deliveries as hazardous weather conditions impact roads and air cargo operations.

Toronto Pearson International Airport has also reported delays affecting cargo operations, creating additional challenges for shipments moving through the region. These disruptions are expected to continue as the storm passes.

Due to the severe weather, offices were scheduled to close early at 2:00 p.m. EST, with normal operations expected to resume the following morning.

Impact on Logistics

Winter storms can have a significant effect on supply chains. Snow-covered roads, poor visibility and difficult driving conditions can slow down trucks, while airport disruptions can affect air cargo schedules.

Customers with shipments moving through Toronto should therefore allow additional transit time and remain prepared for possible changes to delivery schedules.

The storm is a reminder that extreme winter weather can quickly affect transportation networks and create delays across the logistics industry.
