“Because the holiday season is now behind us, and traffic patterns should be closer to normal, this snow is expected to have more of an impact on the morning commute.”
The snow is expected to taper off by the afternoon.
The warning stretches from the Greater Toronto Area westwards towards Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. Those areas to the west are expected to see more snowfall amounts of up to 15 centimetres.
Environment Canada said travel will likely be challenging and roads and walkways will be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow as well as reduced visibility.
