KITCHENER -- Tuesday featured widespread snow, heavy at times, throughout southern Ontario as a Texas Low moved through. While the snowfall totals didn’t compare to the lake-effect snow accumulations that fell in some communities over the weekend, it was enough to slow things down in some of the provinces major cities.

Kitchener-Waterloo recorded between five and 10 cm, while Toronto Pearson International Airport recorded nine cm of snow, Milton 10 cm and St. Catharines 11.7 cm.

The system left a fresh blanket of snow on the ground, and conditions have cleared for most with plenty of sunshine in the forecast.

A breezy northwest wind along with chilly temperatures will continue creating isolated lake-effect flurries for areas south of Lake Huron and at times Georgian Bay.

The chance of lake-effect flurries, for especially snow belt regions, increases Thursday as winds pick up, gusting 30-50 km/h from the northwest. A few flurries could make their way into Waterloo Region late Thursday.

IT'S GOING TO GET COLD!

We will start to feel the impacts of the Polar Vortex this week, as a piece slides south and east, causing overnight lows to dip near -20 for many in southern Ontario.
