Toronto and the GTA are in for a mix of wintry precipitation on Thursday and it is expected to make for a messy morning commute.
The incoming weather has led to several school bus cancellations across the region. A full breakdown by school board can be found below.
Environment Canada says the conditions will have a “significant impact” on the morning rush hour in urban areas before the freezing rain transitions to rain or drizzle by the afternoon. The entire region remains under a freezing rain warning.
