Environment Canada says 510 cms of snow is expected Monday night into Tuesday morning.

From freezing temperatures to snowy roads, that's how winter is playing out so far in 2017.

Enivronment Canada has issued a special weather statement warning snow is expected to develop Monday night over southwestern Ontario and move eastward to reach the Greater Toronto Area early Tuesday morning. Snowfall accumulations of 5 to 10 cm are likely before the snow changes to rain.

There may be a significant impact to the Tuesday morning commute and possibly the afternoon one as well for regions where the change to rain occurs later.

The weather system responsible is a Colorado low that will affect much of the province.
