"The city could get up to 10 centimetres of snow, according to the weather agency. But it's the timing of the snowfall, not the amount, that could cause the most trouble. "Although modest snowfall amounts are expected, the timing of this snow will be problematic," according to the Environment Canada warning. "Because the holiday season is now behind us, and traffic patterns should be closer to normal, this snow is expected to have more of an impact on the morning commute.""
"It may be hard to navigate roads and walkways as snow accumulates, and visibility may be reduced at times, Environment Canada said. That could have a "significant impact" on morning rush hour traffic, the weather agency said, and commuters are warned to allow extra time for travel. Snowfall is expected to begin early in the morning and end Monday afternoon. In a news release, the City of Toronto said crews will salt roads as soon as snow begins to fall,"
Environment Canada has issued a snowfall warning for Toronto Monday, forecasting up to 10 centimetres with the worst hitting morning rush hour. The timing is expected to increase impact on commutes, with accumulating snow and intermittent reduced visibility causing potentially significant effects on morning traffic and prompting commuters to allow extra travel time. Snowfall should begin early morning and end Monday afternoon. The City of Toronto will salt roads as snow begins and conduct multiple rounds of plowing throughout the day. Warming centres will remain open for walk-ins at listed addresses providing shelter, meals and washroom access.
