TORONTO – People waking up to snow on the ground can brace for more as an Alberta clipper is expected to send more winter weather to many areas across Ontario.
Environment Canada has issued heavy snowfall warnings for much of southern Ontario, stretching across the province from Dresden to Ottawa, as well as southwestern Quebec.
An Alberta clipper is a fast-moving, low-pressure system that originates on the Alberta side of the Rocky Mountains and swoops south and east across the Great Plains, bringing gusts of cool, dry winds.
Toronto is expected to see up to 10 centimetres of snowfall lasting into the afternoon, while Ottawa could see 15 to 20 centimetres through this evening.
School busses were cancelled in some parts of the Greater Toronto Area, including in York, Halton and Durham, and across several parts of southeastern Ontario.
Environment Canada says the Georgian Bay area could see lake effect snow squalls throughout the day, with 10 to 15 centimetres expected.
Areas along the north shore of Lake Erie are under a special weather statement because of the expected five centimetres of snow and southwesterly wind gusts up to 70 kilometres an hour.
Environment Canada warns that travel across the province will likely be challenging today due to accumulating snow and says visibility will likely be reduced at times.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 10, 2025.
