In addition to the snow squall warnings, a flash freeze warning has been issued, adding to the challenging weather conditions. Environment Canada advises residents to consider postponing non-essential travel due to the unpredictable nature of the weather.

Parts of York and Durham regions are specifically mentioned in the weather alerts, with up to 20 cm of heavy and blowing snow predicted. The warnings emphasize the potential for sudden changes in the weather, urging residents to be cautious.

The erratic weather patterns in southern Ontario showcase the region's unpredictability. From balmy temperatures and thunderstorms to snow squalls and high winds, residents are experiencing a mix of all four seasons in a single day.
