As of Saturday afternoon, a snowfall warning remained in effect for the Toronto area, warning of around 15 centimetres by the time the storm is finished.
“Through the lunch hour, snowfall rates in Toronto were approximately two centimetres per hour, which created significant snow build-up on major routes throughout the GTA,” Global News weather specialist Mike Arsenault said.
“Winds around 50 km/h created blowing snow and low visibility conditions on the roads as well.”
Around 11 a.m., police first said they received reports of multiple collisions on the QEW between Burlington and Niagara, where wind gusts of 70 to 90 km/h were forecast for Saturday.
