Winter Weather Arrives Early in the Greater Toronto Area
Environment Canada has issued a weather alert for the Greater Toronto Area, with heavy snow expected to start falling overnight. The system is forecast to impact various parts of the region, potentially creating hazardous conditions for the start of the weekend.
Timing and Expected Accumulation
The snowfall is predicted to begin late on Friday, November 29, 2025. While Saturday's daytime forecast includes some sunshine, the overnight period will see a return to flurries and accumulating snow. Drivers are being cautioned to expect difficult road conditions, reminiscent of the challenges seen recently in Barrie, Ontario, where vehicles struggled on snow-covered routes like Mapleview Drive.
Preparing for the First Major Snowfall
This early winter event serves as a reminder for residents to prepare their vehicles and homes for the colder season. Commuters should allow for extra travel time and consider using public transportation if possible. The impending weather underscores the need for winter tires and emergency kits in vehicles throughout the GTA and surrounding regions.
