Although it’s not official, it seems winter may have arrived in eastern Ontario, according to Environment Canada.

The weather agency has released a special weather statement warning of a “wintry mix” of precipitation for Thursday morning’s commute.

“A developing low pressure system is expected to bring a messy mix of precipitation tonight into Thursday morning,” the weather statement read.

Environment Canada expects the rain to continue overnight and turn to light snow early Thursday morning.

“Falling temperatures through the morning may also cause roads to become icy or slippery,” the statement added.
