First we had rain mixed with snow. Snowfall here is expected to total around 5 centimetres by later tonight.

Accumulations will likely be higher off Lake Huron and Georgian Bay.

Heavy snow is also expected in eastern Ontario with forecasters saying Ottawa could get 30-centimetres by early tomorrow.

The storm, which has battered the U-S Midwest, has led to airlines cancelling some 1,000 flights, mostly at Chicago’s O’Hare and Midway airports.
