Most of Ontario is under an extreme cold weather alert and the southern half of the province received a fresh blanket of snow on Saturday night.

Schmidt has been posting the increasing number of collisions on GTA roads on Twitter.
One of the crashes saw a vehicle lose control in the snow, hitting a transport truck that then rolled into a ditch.
Schmidt says no one was injured in the crash, but other drivers might not be as lucky if they’re not careful.
