While accumulation isn't expected in Toronto, the snow may stick in the surrounding area, adds Hamilton.
Meanwhile, a special weather statement has already been issued by Environment Canada for the Greater Sudbury area and North Bay, where the first significant snowfall of the season is expected.
"Precipitation is expected to begin as rain -- wet snow mix over Greater Sudbury early Thursday evening, then quickly change to all snow as it heads to the North Bay area," says EC in a statement. "Current indications suggests that total snowfall amounts could be in the 10 to 15 cm range northeast of Georgian Bay, with 5 to 10 cm possible elsewhere."
Snow is expected to taper off Friday night as the low pushes south.
