Officials in Toronto say it could take three weeks to finish trucking away the piles of snow that are restricting traffic and blocking sidewalks after a major snowstorm.

Canada’s most populous city was buried under a further 25 centimetres of snow over the weekend — the second major dump in the past week.

Environment Canada said a winter storm warning that was issued Saturday for the Toronto area was lifted last night after snowfall tapered off during the afternoon.

"Toronto is a big city and this work takes a lot of time," Barbara Gray, the city's transportation services general manager, said.{ai:summary}<p>Toronto officials estimate it may take three weeks to clear snow that is obstructing traffic and sidewalks following a major snowstorm.
