A cold easterly wind off Lake Ontario will create a band of lake-effect snow directed toward portions of the GTA. There\u2019s still some uncertainty exactly where this band will line up, but anywhere from Oakville to Toronto to Pickering is at risk.<\/p>\n

\"Toronto<\/p>\n

The highest impacts and accumulations will fall beneath this band of lake-enhanced snowfall<\/a>, with totals on the order of 20-30+ cm with complete whiteouts possible.<\/p>\n

\"Ontario<\/p>\n

Communities north of the 407, including London, Barrie, and east toward Ottawa, can expect 10-20 cm of snow from this system through Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Any snow that falls during this system will stick around with temperatures solidly below the freezing mark through the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Next week will bring frigid conditions with high temperatures mainly in the minus teens and lows mostly in the -20s. Colder-than-normal temperatures are anticipated to persist into the first few days of February. A return to seasonal temperatures is expected around February 5, but a shift back to colder-than-normal conditions is possible by mid-February.<\/p>\n
