A major snowstorm dumped 55cm of snow over a period of 15 hours. Councillor Gord Perks referenced this "once in a decade occurrence" as the reason for the 6 car accident, on Feb 2nd.  The reality was that the accident in question occurred two weeks after the snowfall, once the roads had been cleared of snow, and additional accidents happened later in 2022.
