During that time, there is a chance of low visibility on the roads which may impact rush hour considering its timing.

“Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions,” shares EC.

According to The Weather Network, those in Toronto and around the Golden Horseshoe, the snow is expected to make landfall around 2 PM to 5 PM.

Early workers may be in the clear but for those in rush hour traffic, it could be a longer drive home than hoped.

Per TWN, Thursday’s system is expected to be “short-lived,” but we’re still expected to see more snow as we head into the long weekend.

If you put those winter boots away, do us a favour and bring them right back out. You’re gonna need them if you’re heading outdoors this weekend.
