While temperatures across southern Ontario are hovering in the mid-teens through Friday afternoon according to The Weather Network, that will start to change significantly as temperatures begin to cool through Saturday night. 

According to The Weather Network's meteorologist Tyler Hamilton, "we're dealing with one of the first significant swaths of snow across southern Ontario beside lake effect."

While shoreline regions aren't likely to see much snow accumulation thanks to the east wind that will "cause a lot of mixing and rain" says Hamilton, it is more inland where we could be looking at "a fairly sizeable snowfall event" he goes on to say.

As far south as London could see 10 cm of snow. Other cities that could see as much snow include Guelph, Kitchener, and up to Barrie.

But if you happen to live in the downtown core of Toronto, count yourself lucky, as the area seems likely to escape snowfall accumulation.
