Snowstorm Slows Down Southern Ontario: Travel Advisory Issued


Southern Ontario is bracing for a significant snowfall on Friday, leading to hazardous travel conditions and slower commute times**. A winter weather travel advisory has been issued as a band of lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario impacts the region. The snow began late Thursday night and is expected to continue through Friday, with widespread accumulations of 2-5 cm, and potentially higher amounts in the western Greater Toronto Area (GTA) due to lake enhancement.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) warns motorists to expect slippery roads and reduced visibility, urging them to adjust travel plans accordingly. Major routes including the QEW, Don Valley Parkway (DVP), and the Gardiner Expressway are likely to be affected. Drivers are advised to slow down, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, and turn on their lights if visibility is reduced.

Later on Friday night, lake-effect snow squalls are expected over Lake Huron, potentially bringing locally heavy snowfall with accumulations between 10-20 cm. Blowing snow and near-zero visibility could impact travel along Highway 402. ECCC recommends postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.

This snowstorm marks the beginning of the coldest weather of the season, with wind chills expected to drop into the negative teens in the GTA and down to the -20s in cottage country over the weekend.
