While wind has eased a bit across the region, areas closer to the Lake Ontario shore will still see winds of up to 70 km/hr.

“Visibilities have improved late this afternoon however local blowing snow is likely tonight as the precipitation changes back to snow,” it warns.

This weather is associated with a Colorado Low that will cross Southern Ontario tonight into Wednesday.

“Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve,” says Environment Canada. “There may be a significant impact on rush hour traffic in urban areas. If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.”

Today’s weather prompted over 400 flight cancellations at Pearson Airport, and most schools and universities in Toronto were closed as well.

Here’s hoping for a less snowy Wednesday.
