People across the region are digging out after getting slammed by snow squalls over the last 24 hours.
It was a slippery and snowy Sunday and Monday, as snow bands moved across the region. Environment Canada is still collecting snowfall amounts, but say the system was capable of producing 30 centimetres every 12 hours.
"Anybody who doesn't need to be out here isn't out here or they can't get out of their driveway at this end of town and they shouldn't be because it's really hard to see," says Ernie Osborne in Wasaga Beach.
Heavy snow squalls and high winds made for treacherous driving conditions. However, conditions are expected to improve.
Environment Canada has ended snow squall warnings that were in effect for Dufferin County, Durham Region, Simcoe County, Southern Georgian Bay, and York Region.
"Just between Elmvale and Horseshoe valley road it got to the point you couldn't see where you were going, so I turned around came back and sat here," says Bill France.
The OPP say they have responded to a number of crashes, as a result of poor driving conditions. Along the Highway 400 extension in the Horseshoe Valley area, provincial police say there have been 30 collisions since midnight.
Dufferin and Orillia OPP have each reported three crashes, while Southern Georgian Bay has responded to four. Provincial police say none of these collisions were considered serious.
If snow squalls develop, Environment Canada says there is the potential of near zero visibility on roads and highways.
