Snowstorm hits southern Ontario
People in southern Ontario are being warned to expect another wintry blast, as a major snowstorm passes through the region Thursday and Friday.
Environment Canada has issued a winter storm watch for much of southern and parts of eastern Ontario, extending from London to Peterborough, and including Toronto.
Between 15 and 25 centimetres of snow along with strong easterly winds are expected. Some freezing rain and ice pellets are also possible over the southwest.
It's expected the storm will deliver the Greater Toronto Area's most significant snowfall in five years.
CBC meteorologist Claire Martin said the last time Toronto experienced similar snow accumulations was Feb. 6, 2008, when 30.4 cm hit the city.
"It's been a long time since we've seen a snowfall this heavy," said another CBC meteorologist, Jay Scotland. "And we're not just looking at snow. Things will be really bad in terms of visibility for Friday morning."
