Weather advisory
Winter Weather Travel Advisory in effect for today due to heavy snow.
Hazards: Snowfall amounts of 4 to 8 cm, significantly reduced visibilities in heavy snow, snowfall rates peaking up to 3 cm/hr.
Timing: This afternoon into this evening.
Discussion: The onset of precipitation will likely begin as rain before quickly changing over to snow. The snow is expected to fall heavily for a few hours leading to reduced visibility at times. Above freezing temperatures early in the day may limit snowfall accumulations somewhat, especially on surfaces such as roads and sidewalks.
Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.
