The official start to spring may be only 10 days away, but winter isn’t letting go of southern Ontario just yet.

Environment Canada has issued weather advisories stretching from the Greater Toronto Area through to Windsor, as well as snowfall alerts for Niagara and Hamilton.

The federal agency says between four and 20 centimetres of snow is expected, beginning in the morning and tapering off by the evening.

It warns Friday’s commute will be affected by the snowfall.

Blowing snow could hamper visibility.

Environment Canada says motorists should expect hazardous winter driving conditions and adjust their travel plans accordingly.
