It’s a gross morning across southern Ontario.
Environment Canada has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the area:
“A low pressure system will bring a wintry mix of snow, ice pellets and freezing rain to the region today. Both the morning and evening commutes will be affected.
“Note that even a few centimetres of ice pellets can result in travel conditions that can be more hazardous than heavy snowfalls. Ice pellets result in reduced traction on roadways and are difficult to shovel due to their dense nature.
“Precipitation will diminish in intensity by this evening, although freezing drizzle may affect the area through the night.
“Roads and walkways will likely be difficult to navigate.
“Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Allow extra time for travel.
“Winter Storm Warnings are issued when multiple types of severe winter weather (such as snow, freezing rain, wind and rain) are expected or occurring.”
