It's a far cry from the storms we're used to seeing this winter, but some light snow will be making its way to southern Ontario, potentially causing some slick conditions on the roads. 

People across southern Ontario woke up to a light dusting on their vehicles on Sunday morning, after it began falling in the extreme southwestern Ontario region Saturday morning.

"Gusts will reach up to 40 km/h on Monday," adds Weather Network meteorologist Brian Dillon. "This will cause blowing and drifting snow for your Monday morning commute.
