Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for Toronto and much of the Greater Toronto Area ahead of a snowstorm that could dump as much as 15 cm of snow in some areas later today.
“Light snow is expected to begin this morning, but should intensify late in the afternoon or evening. The snow will taper off from west to east late tonight,” the warning reads.The snowfall warning stretches from Hamilton in the west to Kingston and Gananoque in the east around Lake Ontario. It includes Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Oshawa, and other areas.
"Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions," the warning reads. "If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance." The city is also advising people to leave extra time to get around, especially with a slew of road closures and transit closures in effect this weekend.
"Our crews are preparing our specialized snow removal equipment to keep the taxiways, aprons, and runways as clear as possible," the airport said. "With any winter storm, there is the possibility that airlines will need to cancel and delay some flights."Toronto is expecting a high of -1 C today, though that will feel more like -12 in the morning and -5 in the afternoon.
