Unnecessary travel is not advised Saturday night into Sunday as a major winter storm blows through southern and eastern Ontario with 20-40+ cm of snow

Expect dangerous if not nearly impossible travel throughout southern Ontario as a major winter storm approaches the area this weekend. Saturday’s snow is an appetizer to the main event arriving overnight into the day Sunday.

Similar to Thursday's storm, expect significant travel disruptions and cancellations. Widespread snowfall totals of 25-35+ cm are expected throughout the region, including the Greater Toronto Area, with some communities possibly seeing more than 40 cm of snow.Saturday’s snowfall will lighten through the evening—but don’t let your guard down yet. We’ll see average totals of 5-10 cm from Saturday’s even for the GTA and southwestern Ontario, with less than 5 cm on average for eastern Ontario. The rest is coming Sunday.

Blizzard-like conditions are also possible at times in some areas.There is an increasing chance of ice pellets and brief freezing rain for southern Niagara region in the pre-dawn hours Sunday morning.

The heaviest snowfall will be just north of the transition zone, which could blanket the GTA, putting the entire region closer to 30 cm.
The first round of snow on Saturday will serve as an appetizer to the main course arriving overnight into Sunday.
