Residents across southern Ontario are preparing for significant snowfall on Friday.

Heavier snow is anticipated by Friday afternoon, with accumulations expected on untreated surfaces.
Snowfall totals of 5-10+ cm are forecast for most of southern Ontario, though some areas may experience rain or wet snow mixtures.
