Environment Canada has upgraded their special weather statement to a winter weather travel advisory for the Greater Toronto Area ahead of Sunday’s storm.
In a statement released Saturday, Environment Canada said a low pressure system will bring a “messy mix” of winter weather.
“Some areas could see several hours of freezing rain or ice pellets before transitioning to light snow or freezing drizzle Sunday afternoon,” the statement said.
“Light snow is then expected to continue through Sunday night before tapering off Monday morning.”

The weather agency said the city could see up to 10 centimeters of snowfall or ice pellets with wind gusts up to 70 kilometers an hour.
Global News Meteorologist Ross Hull echoed the prediction and said southern Durham and eastern Ontario will be the worst hit.
Environment Canada warned road conditions could become hazardous and advised those in the area to take safety precautions.
