A major snowfall is expected to hit southern Ontario beginning Wednesday afternoon. Here’s everything you need to know.
Environment Canada has released a weather advisory for the region, forecasting 10 to 20 centimeters of snow in the Greater Toronto Area.
Rain is expected to transition into snowfall in Toronto Wednesday afternoon and continue overnight before tapering in the morning. However, a lighter snowfall is expected to take over on Thursday.
The agency warns visibility will be reduced on the roads and encourages caution on icy and slippery surfaces, such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots.
“Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions,” Environment Canada said.
