Environment Canada has issued a blizzard warning Monday morning due to gusty winds and near-zero visibility amid blowing snow as parts of Ontario expect up to 50 centimetres.
The blizzard warning follows the weather agency's winter storm warnings issued on Sunday morning for most of southern Ontario, ahead of a low pressure system that will "significantly impact the Monday morning commute."
The snow is forecast to start falling late Sunday night and continue through Monday. Peak snowfall rates of two to five centimetres per hour are possible Monday morning, Environment Canada says.
Regions like Niagara Falls, St. Catharines, Welland, Grimsby, Kingston, Ottawa, Peterborough, Brockville, Tweed, and Cornwall are expected to receive between 25 and 50 centimetres of snow.
In Toronto, snowfall accumulations of 30 to 50 centimetres of snow is expected.
Four Ontario school boards, including three in the Greater Toronto Area, have launched lawsuits seeking $4.5 billion in damages against Snapchat, TikTok, and Meta for creating products that they allege negligently interfere with student learning and have caused “widespread disruption to the education system.”
