TORONTO–A major winter storm has settled into the southern Ontario region, stretching from Windsor all the way to the Quebec border.
Environment Canada says the storm already has left some areas coping with up to 20 cm of snow–with more on the way.
Hamilton, Burlington, and the Niagara region appear to have been the hardest hit so far.
McMaster University, Brock University, Mohawk College, and Niagara College all are closed for the day, as are child-care centres in Hamilton public and separate school board buildings.
Toronto’s Pearson International Airport is reporting some flight delays and is urging travellers to check ahead to see if they’re affected.
But Environment Canada said some areas that were bracing for major snowfalls will have less to contend with than expected.
Toronto originally was forecast to receive up to 20 cm but the total accumulation may well be half that amount.
