Southern Ontario gets dumped with significant snow storm

Many residents in southern Ontario woke up Thursday with a dumping of snow after a system moved through the region late on Wednesday.

Significant snowfall was expected after Environment Canada issued a yellow – snowfall warning of 20 to 30 centimetres of snow to fall in the Toronto area between Wednesday evening and Thursday afternoon, with the snow tapering off come the evening.

The weather agency warned of reduced visibility at times in heavy snow and local blowing snow.

“A low pressure system will continue to bring significant snowfall to much of southern Ontario. Very cold wind chills by this morning will add to the adverse weather conditions,” the latest weather alert read on Thursday morning for Toronto.

Temperatures also dropped significantly overnight reaching minus double digits. Toronto woke up to -22 with the wind chill on Thursday morning.
