Snow-covered Ontario is set to see another dusting on Tuesday as city crews in Toronto and beyond struggle to deal with massive back-to-back storms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Environment Canada has issued a snow<\/a> squall warning for parts of southern Ontario on the edge of Lake Huron, with lesser weather advisories in place for Barrie, York Region, Toronto and areas to the west.<\/p>\n

In areas with snow squall warnings, like Owen Sound, the weather agency is predicting as much as 70 centimetres of snow and whiteout conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe heaviest snow squall band will continue today through tonight,\u201d the warning, posted at 5 a.m., reads. \u201cSnow squalls are expected to taper to light flurries Wednesday morning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farther south, areas from Kitchener to Vaughan, Toronto and Barrie are set for less snow. Toronto is expecting to see another five centimetres fall, while the surrounding area could see 10 centimetres more.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will bring the salt trucks back out but it won\u2019t be enough to plow or have major impacts on the longer-term plans the city has to remove the snow that has already fallen,\u201d he said. \u201cWinds will also gust over 40km\/h today but become much lighter on Wednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toronto continues to work on clearing efforts after days of struggling under the weight of two large storms.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, 25 centimetres of snow fell across the city, landing on top of 20 centimetres that fell midweek. The Saturday before, 10 centimetres of snow was also estimated to have fallen.<\/p>\n
