Toronto Expects its first Snowfall on Wednesday due to Winter Weather

Snow is expected to fall on Wednesday in Toronto for the first time this season. Travel advisories are in effect for the city and the rest of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

Snow accumulations are expected to reach around five centimeters according to this advisory.

Snow is expected to fall in the area Wednesday morning as a result of a low-pressure system. Environmental Canada’s advisory said Wednesday evening’s snow should taper off.

Adapt your travel plans accordingly if you are expecting hazardous winter driving conditions. During rush hour, urban traffic could be impacted significantly.”

Wednesday’s high temperature is 2 C with a wind chill of -8. Wind chills of -10 are expected in the evening with a low of -2.

Efforts will be made Tuesday evening to prevent black ice on expressways, hills, bridges, and other high-priority areas. It was announced earlier this week that four warming centers would open.

Environmental Canada is warning that snow accumulations could reach 20 centimeters in parts of the Durham Region as a result of snow squalls.

Early Wednesday morning, Lake Ontario-effect snow squalls could move inland and affect Highway 401.

Several snow squalls may move into the area Wednesday, then leave the area and return to the south by Wednesday night.

During peak snowfall events, the area could receive 2 to 5 centimeters of snow per hour, according to Environment Canada.

Snow squall warnings are also in effect for parts of the Niagara Region, including Niagara Falls. Snow may affect the morning commute, according to the Ontario Provincial Police.

There may be less accumulation than they saw over the weekend in Central Ontario. In a social media video posted by OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said that even a small amount of weight can affect driving time significantly.

Rather than following the car in front of them closely, he recommended that drivers give themselves more time to get to their destinations.

Let’s make sure we share the road safely, and responsibly, and get to where we’re going without stopping at collision reporting centers.
