Environment Canada has issued snow squall watches for areas along Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, warning of deteriorating conditions and difficult travel.

The Greater Toronto Area will largely avoid the lake-effect snow. However, quick bursts are possible.

Thankfully, the early winter weather won't last long.

Both the flurries and the powerful winds will begin to ease by Wednesday.

The GTA will even see a return to double-digit daytime highs by Thursday and Friday.
