Many Ontario residents are waking up to the sights and sounds of Old Man Winter after the first major blast of a multi-day winter storm.
Environment Canada says snowfall amounts could reach upwards of 50 centimetres for areas off Georgian Bay, and up to 60 centimetres in northeastern Ontario as the system lingers into Saturday.
The weather office says drivers should expect poor visibility as major snowfall has already blanketed roads in northern Ontario.
The storm knocked out power to thousands of Hydro One customers Thursday, and crews worked through the night to get people back online.
Toronto is expected to be spared by the storm, but Hamilton and the outskirts of the Greater Toronto Area, from Milton wrapping around to Oshawa, could see upwards of 15 centimetres.
Forecasters say it is rare but not unheard of for a weather event like this to open so early in the year in southern Ontario.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 28, 2025.
