Winter Wonderland: Ontario Braces for Snowstorm and White Christmas

 

A blast of winter weather is sweeping across Ontario, bringing heavy snowfall and signs of a white Christmas. Environment Canada has issued snowfall warnings and winter weather travel advisories for several regions, including the Greater Toronto Area and eastern Ontario.

Meteorologist Brad Rousseau from Environment Canada mentioned that a white Christmas looks to be "almost a certainty" for parts of the province where snow accumulates. Up to 20 centimetres of snow is forecasted across a swath of Ontario from Georgian Bay eastward toward Perth. The Greater Toronto Area is expected to see between five and 15 centimetres of snow, while Ottawa could receive 10 to 15 centimetres.

The snowfall is expected to advance on Ottawa this afternoon, becoming heavy at times through the night. As it moves east, the snow is expected to taper off Monday night and into Tuesday. 

Residents are advised to prepare for hazardous driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. The snow-covered landscape is sure to create a picturesque scene for the holiday season, bringing joy to those dreaming of a white Christmas.

Stay warm and safe this holiday season!
