Environment Canada has placed most of southern Ontario and parts of northern Ontario under snow and freezing rain warnings and is advising against non-essential travel. The snow is expected to cause a difficult evening commute in the greater Toronto area before moving east to other parts of southern Ontario. Environment Canada meteorologist Steven Flisfender says a low pressure system traveling from the US – known as a Colorado low – has brought significant freezing rain to southwestern Ontario, especially from London and Kitchener to Guelph and Dundalk.

Flisfeder says this storm is not historic, but it is “definitely impactful” and “a little unusual” because it is interacting with another similar system developing in the eastern United States. “What we’re experiencing is a result of the warm front associated with this Colorado low,” he said. “… Those two systems are interacting with each other and that’s why it’s a little unusual compared to a normal Colorado low.” Story continues below ad The system is expected to remain “fairly stationary” near Lake Superior, he said, but the storm’s warm front will move northeast across southern Ontario through the rest of the afternoon and into tomorrow before entering Quebec. “What’s going to happen is (a) cold air mass associated with the Lake Superior low pressure system,” Flisfeder said. “Cold air associated with this system will sweep over the southern Great Lakes, providing the opportunity for more disturbances, especially near the shores of Lake Huron and Gulf of Georgia.” © 2022 The Canadian Press
