Parts of southern Ontario could be hit with up to 25 cm of snow tonight

Several parts of southern Ontario are under a snowsquall warning as blast of winter weather moves into the region.

In the Greater Toronto Area, Environment Canada issued the snow squall warning for Newmarket, Georgina, Northern York Region, Uxbridge, Beaverton, and Northern Durham Region.

The agency says snow squalls from Georgian Bay will move into the region this evening and have the potential to cause "rapidly accumulating snowfall."

In these areas, snowfall amounts of five to 10 centimetres can be expected by Tuesday morning.

Meanwhile, north of the Greater Toronto Area could see up to 25 cm of snow by Tuesday morning.
