Toronto still under winter storm warning Sunday as snow hammers city [Video]

With snow hammering Toronto overnight Saturday, Environment Canada is warning that the heaviest snowfall is still to come and travel conditions could “rapidly deteriorate” Sunday morning.

The city remains under a winter storm warning, with 15 to 25 centimetres of snow expected to accumulate by the end of Sunday, Environment Canada said in an updated warning Sunday. 

Accumulating snow could make for hazardous travel conditions, and blowing snow could reduce visibility, Environment Canada warns. People in and around the city are encouraged to consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.

In a post to X early Sunday morning, Ontario Provincial Police warned drivers to slow down, saying officers were “responding to various crashes” in light of the weather.

At its peak Sunday, the storm could bring three to five centimetres per hour, Environment Canada says.

Parts of the Niagara Peninsula may also see a period of freezing rain Sunday morning. …
