Torontonians can expect fresh snow days after mid-week winter storm

Torontonians should bracefor another blast of cold weather Saturday morning.

Environment Canada put much of the Greater Toronto Area in a winter weather advisory, warning of reduced visibility andslippery surfaces due to heavy and accumulating snow.

"Prepare for quickly changing and deteriorating travel conditions," the federal agency warned on its website.

"Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. Take extra care when walking or driving in affected areas."

In Toronto, and in Peel, Halton,Durhamand York regions, snow was forecasted to reach about five centimetres. The advisories endedjust before 11 a.m.

The weather says the weather is due to a band ofheavy lake effect snow moving into the area, forecasted to weaken as the afternoon rolls in.

The cold weather comes days after Toronto saw up to 15 centimetres in snow accumulate overnight into Thursday, according to the City of Toronto.
