TORONTO, Ont. – The snow has arrived, and while the GTA is going to get far less than originally expected, that is not the case for other areas.
The GTA could receive between two to five centimetres of snow.
However, keep in mind this is a developing storm, so things are bound to change.
Also, the wind will be strong, which means blowing snow will be an issue for drivers.
“Blowing snow will be a concern, especially for the afternoon, most of the snow for the latter part of the morning. Things will settle down for the afternoon, and by the evening, just a few clouds,” 680News meteorologist Jill Taylor said.
The Niagara area has been hit hard and could see 15 centimetres of snow.
Porter Airlines has warned warning of delays and cancellations, issuing a weather advisory for Toronto, Quebec City, Ottawa, Montreal, Moncton, Boston and Newark.
More than 50 flights have been cancelled at Pearson International Airport, mostly to eastern parts of Ontario, the Maritimes and parts of the U.S. being hit by this storm, places like New York and Chicago.
