Winter Storm Warnings Are In Effect Across Ontario & These Spots Could Get Up To 30 cm

It is a treacherous, cold day across Ontario as the province is slammed with all sorts of winter weather advisories — so bundle up, and get your shovels out!

Environment Canada issued nine winter storm warnings across southern Ontario in cities like Hamilton, London, Simcoe, Sarnia, Windsor and the Niagara region.

While it's going to start off with some rainy weather, Environment Canada is calling for 20 to 30 centimetres of snowfall in these areas by Thursday morning.

The weather conditions are going to impact visibility so terribly that the weather warning is encouraging residents to "consider postponing travel until conditions improve."

All roads and sidewalks may be hard to get through due to all of the snow, too, and Environment Canada says the weather could have a major impact on rush hour traffic.

This is bound to be especially difficult since many parts are still dealing with the leftover snow from last week's big storm.

There are also snowfall warnings in effect for places like Waterloo and the Dufferin regions.

Anyone living in these areas will see anywhere between 15 to 25 centimetres of snowfall through to Thursday morning.

There are 11 extreme cold warnings currently issued across northern Ontario with temperatures dipping down to -40 C.

Those living in Big Trout Lake, and Webequie will get blasted with -45 C windchill. But, Fort Severn and Peawunuck are getting the worst of it at up to -50 C from the gusts of wind.

Everyone in these regions should bundle up and be mindful of frostbite.

"Watch for colour changes on fingers and toes, pain, numbness, a tingling sensation, or swelling. If present, move indoors and begin warming," the weather warning reads.

Environment Canada also issued several weather advisories, as cities like Toronto and Barrie are going to get between 10 to 20 centimetres of snow.

Ottawa will see somewhere between seven to 14 centimetres of snow, but with the added risk of freezing rain pouring through until this afternoon.

Stay warm out there!
