30cm snow and 6cm per hour possible in Mississauga, Brampton and Milton

A winter storm warning is in effect according to Environment Canada for:

• Mississauga
• Brampton
• Halton Hills
• Milton
• Caledon

There will be significantly reduced visibility due to heavy snow and blowing snow.

Total snowfall accumulations of 20 to 30 cm and snowfall rates up to 6 cm/h are possible. Rapidly accumulating snowfall creates hazardous travel conditions.

It will start this evening around 5 pm and into Saturday morning.

A Texas low is expected to bring heavy snow and strong winds to a large swath of southern Ontario. Snow will begin this evening and quickly become heavy at times.

Heavy snow in combination with strong easterly winds, will create significantly reduced visibility and hazardous travel conditions.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow.

Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow.
