Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
Toronto:GTA: Toronto and the GTA are under a special weather statement ahead of the arrival of an Alberta Clipper that could dump up to 10 centimetres of snow on the region.
Environment Canada says that snow will begin falling in the GTA sometime this afternoon and will continue until midnight.
The snowfall is expected to affect driving conditions for the afternoon commute.
“Tricky winter driving conditions are expected as untreated roads will become snow covered and slippery,” the special weather statement advises. “Low visibility from occasional blowing snow is possible in exposed areas. Hence, motorists should allow extra time to reach their destination.”
In advance of today’s snowfall, officials with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority are warning travellers of the possibility for delays and cancellations.
“We don’t try to predict what the weather outcome will be. As it stands right now operations are still normal at Pearson International Airport but given the forecast for today we are recommending that anyone travelling to the airport checks their flight status before they leave home to make sure everything is going as planned,” spokesperson Natalie Moncur told CP24 on Friday morning.
Environment Canada is warning that there is a potential for freezing drizzle after the snowfall stops at around midnight.
The expected daytime high for today is – 4 C.
