Brace yourself, Ontario — you're about to get hit with some snowy conditions to start off the workweek!

According to The Weather Network, an Alberta clipper is bringing snow to southern Ontario on Sunday, which could cause dangerous driving conditions and bring 5 to 10 centimetres of snowfall through Monday.

Winds coming out of the northwest and warm lake temperatures will create "lake-effect snow bands off Lake Huron throughout the day" for that area of the province.

As for the temperature, it'll be chilly early into the week, but by Wednesday, it'll feel like above-seasonal conditions.

Enjoy it while it lasts, though, because it'll get colder by Friday and stay that way into the weekend.

The cold weather in southern Ontario is giving us a little taste of what's expected for Christmas temperatures in the province. According to the Farmers' Almanac, December 25 and 26 are going to be "brutally cold" in Ontario.

January will start off with milder than normal temps, which will turn colder by the end of the month, and you can expect unsettled storms and snow.

As for February, it'll be very cold throughout the month with a "winter whopper" leading into March. Yikes!
