The snowfall warning stretches from Toronto, including a portion of Mississauga, north to Vaughan and Markham and stretches east into Pickering towards Oshawa and further east as far as Kingston.

Environment Canada said an Alberta clipper will push into the region with snow and impact the morning commute and could impact a portion of the evening commute as well.

“Travel will likely be challenging. Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic. Visibility will likely be reduced at times,” the yellow-level alert said.

The additional snow comes after the area got slammed with as much as 35 centimetres or more of snow last week.
