Toronto, GTA brace for blast of winter weather today

Snow should gradually end from west to east later Tuesday afternoon and evening.

The frigid windchill is expected to die down later Tuesday and with that, some moisture and then some milder conditions.

The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory this afternoon, in effect starting 5 a.m. Tuesday to midnight, for Huron, Tuscola, Sanilac, Bay, Saginaw and Midland counties. Snow has started to fall across southern Ontario. The combination of heavy snow and strong winds likely will create significantly reduced visibility between one-half mile to one-quarter mile, resulting in risky travel conditions.

The snow barely fell downtown during last week's storm.

Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne counties are all included - with about 4 to 6 inches of snow accumulation expected.

Freezing rain and ice pellets may also be a problem as the storm centre gets close to the Lower Great Lakes.

High winds expected Wednesday morning could make blowing snow an issue for drivers, especially in rural areas outside of London. "Snow will be at its heaviest in the evening, and continuing overnight".

Thursday a mix of sun and cloud, chance of flurries and the high -6.
