Winter storm warning for
City of Toronto upgraded from winter storm watch
A near-crippling snow storm with very heavy snow and blowing snow as well as some ice pellets tonight and Sunday.
This is a warning that dangerous winter weather conditions are imminent or occurring in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.
A major winter storm will move into southwestern Ontario with snow beginning this afternoon then spreading northeast into the remainder of southern and eastern Ontario tonight. Copious amounts of snow as well as strong winds causing blowing snow are expected. Freezing rain is also possible near Lake Erie.
Latest analyses indicated that the developing low pressure system has moved over northern Louisiana accompanied by a rapidly expanding area of snow with some freezing precipitation already developing across the upper Ohio Valley towards Lake Erie.
The low will move northeast towards the lower Great Lakes and intensify rapidly into a massive winter storm as it reaches Ohio Sunday morning then tracks across New York state into New England by Sunday night. This storm track will place much of southern and eastern Ontario directly under the brunt of heavy snow. A few claps of thunder along with bursts of very heavy snow are also likely.
Widespread snowfall accumulations of 20 to 30 cm are expected in most areas tonight and Sunday. Some local amounts of 30 to 40 cm are quite possible in a few areas by Sunday night. Parts of eastern Ontario may also receive amounts in excess of 30 cm.
An added complication is the development of a snow squall over the west end of Lake Ontario which is affecting some communities from Oakville to Toronto. Local snow amounts of 5 or more centimetres are possible with this band this afternoon.
Significant blowing snow is expected to be a problem in all regions as strong northeast winds gusting up to 70 or 80 km/h whip up the freshly fallen snow and cause whiteout conditions. Freezing rain is possible especially near Lake Erie for a few hours overnight and Sunday morning as milder air pays a brief visit aloft. Ice pellets are also quite possible generally along and south of a line from Grand Bend to the greater Toronto area to Kingston and Cornwall.
The public should be prepared to change plans accordingly to avoid unnecessary travel during this storm. This massive snow storm has the potential to cause near-paralyzing conditions as any road travel on any unplowed streets may become next to impossible on Sunday. All motorists who must travel are urgently advised to use extreme caution and plan for much extra time to reach their destination.
There is a high degree of certainty with this storm as the concensus of weather model data is virtually unanimously forecasting this event.
Environment Canada continues to closely monitor this situation. The winter storm warnings will likely be expanded northeast across the remainder of the regions this afternoon.

Did anyone see the thunder-snow today? It's a rare phenomenon when lightning strikes during a snow storm.

I spent a decent 4 hours shoveling the necessary parts of my property. The heavy snow stopped after 6pm (west burlington/east hamilton). I have nothing left to complain about except the fact that I could not enjoy a sunday snowfall by tobaggoning down fresh powder hills with friends.
My car is so buried that I have to take the bus. These are the days I miss having a driveway or a carport.
