Snowstorm cancellations for Hamilton, Halton, Niagara regions

A snowstorm is causing messy driving conditions across the majority of southern Ontario.

Snowfall warnings have been issued for most of the southern and eastern parts of the province on Wednesday.

Environment Canada says several regions, including the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, can expect to see up to 20 cm of snow. Windsor and Niagara could see about 15 cm of snow.

Multiple schools and municipalities have opened but some are still experiencing closure on Thursday, and school bus schedules are affected due to poor road conditions in certain areas.
