A spring storm hitting southern Ontario, which is expected to bring eight inches of snow by Tuesday, is causing scattered road conditions.
Environment Canada issued recommendations for Monday’s winter travel for much of southern Ontario.
The Toronto area is expected to receive between four and eight centimeters of snow, which began to fall on Monday afternoon and will last until Tuesday.
Hamilton, Guelph, Kitchener, London, Blue Mountains, Owen Sound, Sarnia and Hanover could see a snowfall rate of three centimeters per hour at the peak of the storm, Environment Canada reported.
“Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow,” Environment Canada said Monday. “Be prepared to adjust your driving to changing road conditions.”
