Snow squall warnings remain in place for the Niagara, Hamilton and Halton-Peel regions, warning of additional snowfall accumulation through Monday evening.
"Snow squalls that were affecting the Burlington and Hamilton area have weakened over the past few hours, although a broad area of moderate snowfall, along with localized blowing snow, continues in the regions," Environment Canada says in a statement.
"There is a risk, however, that stronger snow squall bands could re-develop ... and may also affect the northern Niagara region. Further snowfall amounts of around 5 cm are expected, although locally higher amounts will be possible should stronger snow squall bands re-develop. Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather."

Elsewhere snow has, for the most part, stopped.
Still, slippery roadways could continue to cause issues on southern Ontario roadways into the evening.
SNOWY START TO THE WEEK IN SOUTHERN ONTARIO
Parts of southern Ontario saw significant snowfall through Monday, as slow-moving squalls moved across the region. Winds were in the 30-40 km/h range, easing as the day progressed.
The storm was enough to cause a series of fender benders on highways and side roads.
