Fast-moving snow storm expected to create hazardous conditions in parts of Ontario [Video]

A fast-moving low-pressure system moving into parts of southern Ontario is expected to create “hazardous” conditions Saturday, Environment Canada says.

The federal weather agency said in a weather advisory the system is expected to bring 10-to-15 centimetres of snow by Sunday morning in some areas. The weather advisory covers municipalities like Toronto, Vaughan and Hamilton.

“Motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust travel plans accordingly. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow,” Environment Canada said.

“Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Slow down driving in slippery conditions. Watch for taillights ahead and maintain a safe following distance.”

The federal weather agency added the snowfall will begin in some parts starting Saturday afternoon.

The warning comes after a portion of Ontario’s Highway 11 was closed in both directions Friday after a large crash involving multiple vehicles in snowy, wintery conditions left one person dead and several people injured.
