A white Christmas is forecasted for parts of Ontario as winter weather and snowfall sweeps across the province Monday.
Snow moving across Ontario is expected to accumulate from about London eastward to the Quebec border, said Environment Canada meteorologist Brad Rousseau.
"Whatever snow falls today looks like it should stick around for Christmas," he said. "A white Christmas looks to be almost a certainty."
Up to 20 centimetres is in the forecast across a swath of Ontario from Georgian Bay east toward Perth where the snowfall warnings are in effect.
The Greater Toronto Area is under a winter weather travel advisory and could see between five and 15 centimetres of snow by early Tuesday morning.
On one of the busiest travel days of the holiday season, Toronto Pearson International Airport urged travellers to check their flight status and take "plenty of extra time" to arrive at the airport.
The snow advanced on Ottawa Monday afternoon, and Environment Canada warned it could become heavy at times through the night with accumulations between 10 to 15 centimetres.
