It’s going to be another snowy weekend for Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area.
Environment Canada has issued a winter weather travel advisory for Friday with about 4 to 8 cm of snow expected beginning this morning and tapering into the evening.
Winter weather travel advisories are in effect across Southwestern Ontario, with Peel and Halton regions expected to receive 5 to 10 cm of snow.
“Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance,” Environment Canada said on its website.
For travellers heading to Pearson Airport to begin their March break vacation, they should ensure they have plenty of time before their flight to account for any visibility problems.
WEATHER ALERT: Heading to Pearson today? Be careful as snow is in the forecast, making for poor road conditions and visibility. As always, check your flight status with your airline before leaving for the airport. #ONstorm #safetyfirst
