More snow is heading for southern Ontario, though Toronto may be spared the brunt of the storm.
Environment Canada says between 10 to 20 centimetres of snow is expected for many parts of the province on Monday, with snow squalls, ice pellets and freezing rain expected as well.
Toronto should be spared the main part of the storm and receive only a few centimetres of snow, but rapidly falling temperatures could create icy conditions on many roads in the GTA.
On Monday morning, OPP were already reporting very slippery conditions and blowing snow around the city.
"Right now most of the collisions are occurring over in the Kitchener-Waterloo area," said OPP Const. Julia McCuaig. "It appears as if the storm hasn't really come into the Toronto area, as of yet.…
"The Kitchener-Waterloo area definitely feeling the blowing snow at this time. I believe it is approaching the Toronto area and it will come in later this morning."
McCuaig said dozens of accidents were reported west of Toronto where freezing rain was causing most of the problems.
There are snow squall warnings for Barrie, London and Grey-Bruce, winter storm warning for Parry Sound-Muskoka, and a freezing rain warning for Kingston and Peterborough.
Toronto police say they dealt with about 400 collisions because of the slick conditions over the weekend.
Following Sunday's snow storm, GO Transit and the TTC both said they were operating on schedule. And planes in and out of Pearson International Airport were also on time.
