A yellow advisory snowfall warning has ended for Toronto as two Alberta Clippers hits the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA).
The weather alert from Environment Canada estimated the systems could drop up to 10 cm of snow by Wednesday night.
The yellow advisory meant the impact level will be moderate, and icy surfaces were likely to form and could be difficult to detect.
Other areas, including Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Kitchener and Cambridge were also under a yellow advisory for snowfall but it has since ended as well.
The first system hit Toronto on Tuesday, bringing a light blanket of 1-3 centimetres during the afternoon. The second system arrived after midnight Tuesday night and persisted through much of Wednesday, dropping between 7-10 centimetres.
Why Wednesday night could be trickiest
Things will start to get messy when colder northwest winds move in on Wednesday night. It could mean some very icy conditions on untreated roads and sidewalks as temperatures drop to -6 C.
There is a possibility of some lake effect snow to the north to start off Thursday morning.
Following the two clippers, Toronto could see the coldest air of the season this weekend.
Temperatures will fall throughout the day on Sunday. Around noon, it will be -9 C, dropping to -14 C by evening without wind chill.
An Alberta Clipper is a fast-moving low-pressure system that comes from Alberta and moves through the Plains and the Great Lakes region during the winter. It usually brings light snow, strong winds and colder temperatures along with it.
