Messy morning commute as kids return to school

The bitter cold is moving on but a messy morning commute is in store as kids return to school.

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement, with an average of 10 centimetres of snow expected in southern Ontario. Hamilton is expected to see 2-4 centimetres.

Gusting snow will create reduced visibility.

Police are reminding drivers to clear off their vehicles and slow down.

Good morning #HamOnt. Pls take your time out there as we are experiencing substantial ❄️fall. Roads can be slippery, so expect a longer distance to stop. Drive safe so you can make it to your destination. Have a nice day.
