TORONTO, Ont. – Southern Ontario — including Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area — is under a special weather statement issued by Environment Canada because an Arctic cold front is blasting its way into the province.
Lake-effect flurries could be an issue, which could lead to poor visibility for drivers.
The agency said most areas can expect only a coating of snow by Wednesday morning but strong winds will blow the snow, resulting in reduced visibility in southern Ontario and in parts of eastern Ontario close to Lake Ontario.
“Motorists are urged to exercise caution and be prepared for sudden hazardous driving conditions from blowing snow and brief bursts of heavier flurries,” the agency said.

Everybody laughs and complains about these weather statements. But, the way I’ve seen people driving here in the GTA, I think we need them.
Agreed. People who complain about 680new’s reports are likely the same losers on the road who think they’re superstars where the weather doesn’t apply to them. When they get into accidents or cause death/injury to another individual, let’s see if the complaining stops. Not once have I seen anyone thanking 680news for keeping us informed of the weather, and no one needs to even pay a nickle for it either.
We need to Annex Florida and take it for our own as the next Province. Seriously, we have so many Canadians there already, we’d totally win.
Wow. This really is news. I’m glad that we need to issue a “special weather statement” to warn people of the impeding dangers of -5 and flurries at the end of February in Canada. There is a reason that much of the rest of Canada laughs at us when it comes to dealing with anything but a smooth ride in.
