Winter weather statement in effect for Mississauga

A special weather statement is currently in effect for parts of Halton and Peel (Brampton, Mississauga, Milton and Halton Hills).

Environment Canada says a winter weather travel advisory is in effect for this morning.

The weather agency says brief periods of heavy snow are possible this morning as a cold front sweeps through the area.

While snowfall accumulations should remain fairly limited, travel could be hazardous at times due to reduced visibilities in heavy snow and blowing snow.
