For many, it’s back to the regular daily grind after two weeks of holidays, but the weather is making that challenging in the Greater Toronto Area.
A snowfall warning was issued for Toronto, with Environment Canada warning of “challenging” travel conditions for drivers on Monday due to “reduced visibility” at times.
“Although modest snowfall amounts are expected, the timing of this snow will be problematic. Because the holiday season is now behind us, and traffic patterns should be closer to normal, this snow is expected to have more of an impact on the morning commute,” the weather advisory read.
“Travel will likely be challenging. Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow,” the statement continued.
“There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic. Visibility will likely be reduced at times. Allow extra time for travel.”
School Bus Delays
The Toronto District School Board says buses are running Monday morning; however, some bus routes have been impacted by weather-related delays.
School bus delays have also been reported in York, Peel, Halton, and Durham regions.
And expect further traffic delays as snowplows and salters work their way around the GTA.
Things could get messy
Up to 10 cm of snow is expected, though it is expected to taper off Monday afternoon—but could transition to freezing drizzle, Environment Canada warned.
Toronto is expected to see a high of 1°C but will feel like -12°C in the morning.
