A winter weather travel advisory has ended in Toronto and across the GTA as several centimetres of snow fell and slowed down the afternoon and evening commute on Tuesday.
Environment Canada issued the advisory warning of snow that began around noon, pushed into the region and impacted travel throughout the day.
The advisory noted that the snow would weaken in the late afternoon but not before accumulation of 4 to 8 cm. Peak snowfall rates of 1 to 2 cm per hour were experienced locally.
“Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly,” the weather agency said.
Toronto finally saw relief from an extended cold snap on Monday as warmer air moved into the GTA.
Wednesday could see a rain and snow mix in the morning with a high near 3 C, and it will be even warmer for the remainder of the week with daytime highs near 5 C on Thursday and Friday.
