Snowfall rates forecast to exceed 1 cm an hour across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) by 6 a.m., ill-timed for a treacherous and slow commute.
Peak snowfall rates of 1-2 cm an hour are forecast from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. across much of the GTA and regions north of Lake Ontario.

By Monday afternoon, snowfall eases as the system slides eastward, while portions of eastern Ontario are still dealing with lingering, light snowfall. By Monday evening, just light flurries will remain across the area.
Motorists can expect significantly slower commute times. Give yourself ample time to prepare for slowdowns as drivers navigate the accumulating snowfall.
