The GTA got our share of April showers and then some on Sunday morning as snow and hail fell across the region.
Twitter user @JCML86 sent us this video of hail at Markham Road and Steels Avenue, while many of you sent in your pictures from around the GTA.
One man, Roddie Saunders, also known as @UCanadaIceCream, said the weather was having an effect on sales.
“Love snow this time of year, great for business. NOT!:( Go away snow,” he wrote on Twitter.
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for much of southern Ontario on Saturday, warning of high, gusting winds and a dumping of precipitation.
While it made for a miserable weekend, the weather won’t last.
“It looks like the system will really clear out by really late Sunday night,” CityNews weather specialist Sangita Patel described.
“We could see some fog developing towards southwestern Ontario and the GTA,” she added.
Toronto will see a high of 5C on Sunday, with a 60 per cent chance of rain or even wet flurries. Overnight, that will dip down to a low of -2C.
As for Monday, we’re back in the sunshine, with a high of 8C and a low of -2C.
