Snowfall warning issued for Toronto and Southern Ontario

A heavy Snowfall Warning has been issued by Environment Canada for the next 24 hours, with total amounts of 15 to 25 cm is expected but the time the two dumps of white stuff are over. The first round of snow is expected to begin lightly late morning Monday with heavier snow moving in during the evening.

Environment Canada and Climate Change says potentially higher amounts of up to 10 cm during the first round of snow may occur near Lake Erie.

This snowfall may diminish for a while but will be followed by a second heavier dumping Monday night into Tuesday morning across portions of southern Ontario.

The second snowfall is expected to deliver an additional 10 to 20 cm throughout the night Tuesday white precipitation just in time for the reopening of ski hills across the province.

ECCC warns that visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.
