The general expectation is 5-10 centimetres of snow across Toronto, but areas near Oakville, Hamilton and Grimsby could get as much as 15 cm, as well as areas of the city closer to the water. The greatest amount of snowfall for Toronto on this date, according to historical records, was 11.2 cm in 1941.The weather agency is warning that travel could be dangerous as the blowing snow increases, particuarly on the Monday morning commute. Fortunately, Monday is the Family Day holiday.Temperatures are expected to hit a high of -5 C on Monday, with a low of -15 C with the wind chill.
