""Roads could get iced up rather quickly, said Mark Schuster, operational meteorologist with Environment Canada, noting highways could see the worst conditions. Regions north and northeast of Toronto could see significant snowfall into the evening hours, he said. The risk of snow squalls, or bursts of heavy snow, is expected late Thursday morning and in the afternoon with about two centimeters of snow coming down in total.""
""Snow squall risks continue into the evening with a low of -2 C. While breezy conditions will continue on into Friday Toronto just went through a blustery night westerly winds gusting up to 70 km/h are expected to decrease as the morning goes on, said Environment Canada. Looking further into the week, Schuster says a brief break in the weather is expected Saturday with potentially significant snowfall coming Sunday. He urges GTA residents to reconsider travel plans, if possible, during the winter conditions ahead.""
""Those who have to venture out, he said, should plan ahead with winter tires on, clear vehicles of snow before driving and leave lots of room between other cars. Just because the weather conditions are fine at your current location, it could be very bad even just a few kilometers away, that's the nature with lake effect [snow], said Schuster.""
Environment Canada issued a special weather statement for the Greater Toronto Area warning of possible lake-effect snow and snow squalls on Thursday. Localized bursts of heavy snow and blowing snow could reduce visibility and quickly ice roads, with highways likely seeing the worst conditions. Total snowfall is expected around two centimetres with risks continuing into the evening and a low near -2 C. Westerly gusts up to 70 km/h will ease through the morning, with breezy conditions into Friday, a brief break Saturday, and potentially significant snowfall Sunday. Residents are urged to reconsider travel and prepare vehicles for winter conditions.
