Snow and freezing rain on the way for southern Ontario

A wintry mix of weather is on the way for Sunday.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement, warning that the next disturbance scheduled to hit most of southern Ontario on Sunday morning will be a mix of snow and rain.

“There will be a lull in the precipitation for much of the night before yet another disturbance moves into the area early Sunday morning,” says the national weather service.

“Snow will mix with ice pellets and accumulate 2 to 5 cm Sunday morning before changing to freezing rain. Freezing rain will persist for several hours before changing back to light snow Sunday afternoon.”

Environment Canada is warning that surfaces such as highways and roads may become icy and slippery.

680 NEWS meteorologist Harold Hosein says roughly 5 centimetres of snow is expected in Toronto and the GTA on Saturday.

OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said they were dealing with more than 250 crashes in and around the GTA.

Conditions are expected to improve by Sunday evening and into the start of the work week on Monday.
