CTV Toronto: Dangerous drive across the GTA Drivers across the GTA endured brutal road conditions as snow blanketed the region throughout the day. John Musselman has more.

A late-season winter storm could bury southern Ontario in more than 15 centimetres of snow on Wednesday.

Environment Canada is warning of heavy snowfall, strong winds and poor visibility during the snow storm.

The weather agency warns the public not to be fooled by Tuesday's mild temperatures: Winter is not over.

The high in Toronto will reach 8 C, before the weather makes a turn overnight. GTA residents will wake up to a snowy, sub-zero winter wonderland.

The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings, and be cautious when driving due to poor visibility.
