"There remains some uncertainty as to how long the snow will last on Thursday and how much will accumulate. Forecast guidance suggests snowfall accumulations anywhere from 5 to 15 cm," Environment Canada warns.

Thankfully, things will clear up by Easter weekend with sunshine and double-digits forecasted for much of Ontario.
