A Winter Weather Travel Advisory is in effect for the City of Toronto on Sunday.

“Snow is beginning to spread across the region this morning and will continue to fall through this evening. Snowfall accumulation will generally increase the further one is from Lake Ontario,” states Environment Canada.
