Get ready for a snowy Boxing Day adventure in parts of GTA and southern Ontario! π¨οΈ π
If you're planning to hit the roads and stores this holiday, brace yourself for some winter wonderland surprises. Environment Canada has issued a yellow alert, predicting significant snowfall across Toronto and its surroundings, with a generous 8-12 cm of snow expected.
The snow is expected to start late morning and continue through the evening, with some areas experiencing heavy snowfall and reduced visibility. It's a wintery challenge for travelers, but an exciting prospect for those who love a good snow day!
But here's where it gets controversial... the exact path of the low-pressure system remains uncertain, which could shift the snowfall's impact. Environment Canada is keeping a close eye on this, and so should you!
In addition to the snow, prepare for some chilly winds, with gusts up to 50 km/h. The wind chill will make temperatures feel much colder, especially in the morning.
And this is the part most people miss... warming centers are open across Toronto to provide a cozy respite from the cold. So, if you're feeling chilly, these centers are a great place to warm up and take a break.
The forecast for the weekend remains chilly, with temperatures hovering around -4 to -10 degrees Celsius. Sunday brings a welcome temperature rise to 2 degrees, but also a 60% chance of showers.
So, are you ready to embrace the snow and the wintery adventure? Or do you prefer to stay cozy indoors? Let's discuss in the comments! π¨οΈ π
