Environment Canada issued a winter weather travel advisory on Tuesday night, warning of potentially hazardous driving conditions throughout the day.
The city could see upwards of five centimetres of snowfall before flurries taper off this evening. The national agency is warning of reduced visibility at times and noted that the inclement weather could have a “significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas.”
CP24.com will have live updates throughout the day as the snow falls. Here is the latest:
Environment Canada meteorologist Geoff Coulson says that today’s storm will be “the first real widespread snowfall event for many parts of the GTA.” He tells CP24 that while the total accumulation won’t be significant it will have an impact on the afternoon commute, especially for anyone planning to travel to areas just to the east or west of the GTA.
“It is important to know that to the east of the GTA from Cobourg into Kingston a snow squall warning is in effect as southwest winds bring in some lake effect activity. Also for anyone planning travel to the west and the northwest of the GTA, a blowing snow warning is in effect. They have a lot of snow on the ground already and the gusty winds today will pick that up and blow it around,” he said. “In general, there will be highly variable conditions, and it is important for folks to be aware that even though it won’t be as bad in their immediate vicinity they could encounter some pretty significant conditions in areas just to the west and the east.”
