Ontario Braces for Another Snow Blast as 20 cm Targets Eastern Cities
Another powerful winter system is sweeping across Ontario and for millions of residents, this is a storm they simply cannot ignore.
Forecasters are warning that a messy mix of rain, freezing rain and heavy snow will move from southwest to northeast across the province on Friday, creating dangerous and rapidly changing conditions. The biggest concern right now is eastern and central Ontario, where snowfall totals could climb as high as 20 centimetres before the system moves out.
This storm follows closely on the heels of another disruptive midweek system and the pattern looks strikingly similar. Precipitation will begin as rain in many areas, but as colder air pushes in, that rain will change over. Some communities could briefly deal with freezing rain before snow takes over. And as we have seen before, even a small temperature shift can dramatically change what falls from the sky.

The transition zone is expected to hover near the Greater Toronto Area. That means Toronto could see mostly rain through much of the day, with a later changeover to snow. But travel conditions could still become slippery as temperatures drop. Meanwhile, cities farther east, including Ottawa, are expected to see steadier and heavier snowfall. In those regions, plows will likely be working through the night to keep roads passable.
This winter has already been relentless. Toronto has recorded snowfall totals well above seasonal averages, marking one of its snowiest winters in years. And with another storm arriving before the week is even over, residents are once again being reminded that winter is far from finished.
Why does this matter? Because storms like this do more than create scenic snowfalls. They disrupt travel, delay flights, increase the risk of highway collisions and strain municipal snow removal budgets. Businesses may close early. Schools could face delays. Emergency services prepare for a spike in calls.
For viewers outside Canada, this is a clear reminder of how volatile winter weather can be in large urban regions. A single storm system can bring rain to one city and near-blizzard conditions to another just a few hours away.
Authorities are urging residents to monitor local forecasts closely and to plan ahead, especially if travel is necessary. Conditions can deteriorate quickly when rain turns to ice or snow.
